Hopefully starts against Huddersfield & go on to be a big part of our season, really like the look of him. Really rate Mayenda & Isidor but I think this lad might offer us something different, 'fox in the box' type player as Keano would say.

The thing about a fox in the box player is that they can only play if the midfield are near them. If they are isolated miles away from the rest of the team it doesn't really work. Not sure how a team like ours, whose big strength is hitting teams on the break plays with a fox in the box

Thats what the wingers are for,plenty of crosses come in but nobody in the box.

He’s not a fox in the box.

He’s a proper number 9. Bustling type. Experience is a worry, but he is the right profile.

A fox in the box isn't the same as someone who thrives on high balls in the box. That's Quinny

I hope you are right, I have high hopes for him, could be a massive star for us. But we need to work out how to fit him into our system quickly. Huddersfield is a good opportunity to test that out
 
He's a good player. I'm sure of that. I'm just not sure he's enough for what we'll need. We've spent a lot on midfield as we've historically done and not invested up front. Goals win games, let's hope those we have can step up.
 
We don’t have a striker PL
Quality. Everyone knows that as we can’t stay up without one. Gee we have some idiots who think what we have is good enough.
For us to stay in the PL we are so far off Quality.

f***ing hell, that made me laugh 😆

He looks good imo. Got a good finish on him, looks strong, good at pressurising defenders. He’s with us because he’s not the mature version of that, so we can expect some stumbles along the way, but I think he could be a huge asset to us this season and I look forward to seeing more of him.

Bugger. I’d really hoped we’d make a go of it. Will we go straight back up next season or are we in for more years of struggle?

Ah shit, wish the club got this sorted instead of focusing on that goalkeeper, midfield and defence.

Shocking. :(
