The HDM have suggested the club have denied there is any interest in Gestede. Bruce won't be rushed into a signing and has irons in the fire. So, our non striking strikers to start v West Ham will be?
"hey you the Gestede crew " can't say ive followed him , apart from his Blackburn career he isn't exactly prolific so whats there to suggest he could be any better in a tougher league with probably worse supply ???
Wilfried bony only has scored half the amount of goals In 75 appearances, granted he score them in the PL
At least playing a striker in a strikers position has to enhance our prospects of scoring (unless it's Danny Graham). Playing a midfielder or winger in the strikers position doesn't really help. We only have one fit recognised striker (Sagbo) and he wants to leave!
I dunno how old he is, but during January the squad limit doesn't count anyway. We name our next squad after the window closes and until then we can play who we want.
I don't think its quite that simple in real life, I inow that's how it worked on football manager, I'm sure there's a limit how many changes you can make in January.
" Negotiations are continuing between Blackburn and Hull Cityregarding the transfer of Benin international striker Rudy Gestede,according to Sky sources. Hull close understood to be close to agreeing fee, which will be formally lodged to Blackburn. Gestede has 12 goals for Rovers this season." Hmmm.
I hope this come's off, we could do with a battering ram upfront, gives us a different option upfront.
At 6"4 he's a big bugger, no doubt about it, but then so was Caleb Folan. Let's hope he has a bit of ability about him.
Gary Mackay-Steven is available for £250,000 from Dundee United, Celtic are in for him but I think he'd be a decent acquisition as we're lacking creativity, a cheap option to provide quality in depth.
Austin and Ings were both untested and have done well. Gestede had a chance at Cardiff and was shipped out on loan
Blackburn fans seem to think that he's in a purple patch that won't go on, and that if there is a time to sell him it's now before the goals dry up. I've seen him play on occasion but I can't say I've payed much attention to his style or ability. Here's to hoping he's got more about him than just scoring goals in the championship.
Lancashire telegraph saying weve made a tentative enquiry but no offer. Maybe Im not giving him credit he deserves. Only Eoin Doyle of Chesterfield scored more goals than him in lge football in 2014. Not even the prodigal Jordan Rhodes
