    One thought about his wages. Even if he was circa £100k a week. Aside from the team cohesion issues, it wouldn't necessarily be too bad. Let's say he stays 3 years, wage bill is roughly £15M plus the transfer fee of £4M =£19M. If he is successful we could sell him for who knows what? Pelle, Wanyama, didn't they cost £12M on transfer alone? In the wacky world of football finances, it's probably all about the overall cost (and you can imagine how much a top striker out of contract could demand in wages)

    His hair wasn't looking that slick by the end of the training session. Got some training to do with Grazi.

    Wow, I thought he looked genuinely nervous, meeting his new teammates.

    Hard to believe but there are people on the Echo site bemoaning that signing this "cut price player" shows the board still has an "austerity motivation".

    Hell's teeth!

    I have virtually given up with that lot, the Neggies crying because I had the nerve to challenge them.

    Do what I do. Don't read it. It's ****e. There is an Echo in Liverpool. It is treated with a disdain only matched by that held for The Sun!

    Yeesh. I've questioned our spending habits as much as anyone, but context matters, people.

    They do understand that we have just bought an English proven Premier League striker for £4m. One who scored 18 goals last season for a poor team. Madness..
