Interesting. I can see him scoring the odd one but still being a failure overall for the same reasons he's been a failure for us. It doesn't seem like one of those where he just needs a new start. He simply doesn't have the heart for English football and I can't see that changing any time soon, though I hope I'm wrong.
Statistics can be used and manipulated to back up anyone's point. I'm talking pure hard goals per games!
Agree especially at a team bottom of the league Hope he churns out 10 goals + and keeps them up though
Struggled for us in the championship last year so can't see how he will be prolific for a struggling Barnsley team this season. All the best to him, though - hopefully he can earn himself a permanent move there in the summer.
I dont know why people have a go at him for that. Surely we can all accept he wont have miraculously changed as a player after we signed him and he didnt go from an all action Big Billy lead the line type to a powder puff yet skillful deep lying forward. So surely any blame in signing such a frustrating player must go down to our manager. If Bruce did his work he MUST have known the type of player we were getting.
Good luck to him - no doubt about it, he is a good finisher and clearly wants to succeed. I'm firmly in the "hope he starts to hit the target regularly and returns to CIty with new confidence" school of thought.
