Aston Villa striker Rudy Gestede set for move to West Brom in £7million deal in January

20/12/16

WEST BROM are set to land Rudy Gestede for £7million next month – with Aston Villa lining up Brentford’s £9m-rated Scott Hogan as the striker’s replacement.

Tony Pulis wants to boost his team’s firepower and is confident of landing French striker Gesetde who joined Villa from Blackburn for £6m on a five-year deal in 2015.

Donkey

Had a good spell at direct Blackburn, and hasnt done nothing for a year and a half.

I watched him for Villa the other day. He couldnt trap a bag of cement with a pair of clowns shoes on.

in a birmingham express poll more than 80% of WBA dont want him. and why would they want a Villa sub?

Got to agree, personally didn't think he was any different to the player that left us. Certainly isn't worth 7m. Rudy had some great sub appearances for the city including his two goals against the scabs but he never impressed when starting. Granted he was good for Blackburn, but what's he done since? An impact player again.

Apart from Liverpool in the Carling cup I don't remember him doing too well when starting a game for us, but showed some signs he could be a good player from the bench, certainly wouldn't say he's worth 7 million. Not done much since a good 2 seasons with Blackburn. Plenty of strikers who are better than him in the championship.

Well I guess he's laughing all the way to the bank!
Big wages and a couple of big money moves. He's very decent in the air and I would imagine that's the main reason Pullis wants him if true.

He is a poor striker after only scoring 9 goals in 49 appearances for Villa.

People seem to remember MM getting Corn the Dan ....But forget about this guy Rudy,who he saw something in .

Might not have done it with some people ( including me at times ) But other clubs want to pay the fee for him.
