    I know compilations can be deceptive, but if you look at the vid I posted in the summer window thread, he looks quite imptressive.

    Both feet and his head - something we've sorely lacked recently.

    I'll put it up on here as well..........

    Big bugger at 6ft 4ins. 53 goals in 151 games since 2014/15. 1 in 3 ratio.

    Looks very promising especially compared to some others mentioned. Fingers crossed.

    And used to playing in blue....

    ....and red <yikes>

    Seems to like the ball in tha channels rather than back to goal. Mobile for a big lad.
    Someone that could feed off Tomlin?
    Can also get on the end of crosses.

    As you say sparkey, compilatiins can be deceiving, but looks promising.

    What standard is bundesliga 2?

    Bloody good football but not as physical as our Championship.

    Watched a fair bit of it streamed live over recent years and there are some good sides in there - here's the league table after their first round games...........

    Looks like our scouting team has been watching as well.

    This signing and whyte could leave us with a pretty sound transfer window, and in profit, or at least breaking even.

    Saying that, hes not as big a lump as ken but looks to play a similar style.
    Oh, one BIG difference, unlike ken he seems to be able to head the ball.:emoticon-0148-yes:
    Just hope hes not a sick note like ken.

    I think he'll find it a lot tougher over here physically.

    The style of play he's used to in Bundesliga 2 features defenders standing off far more. He'll get far less time when challenging for the ball with some big lumps of defenders climbing all over him.

    Thank God we got Flint in our side rather than against us....<laugh>

    Worried we're setting up that as the only way we'll score.

    Please, please give us someone in the middle who can make things happen when the ball is moving, instead of just when it's dead.

    Absolutely.
    If the German lad signs then if we do bring in a creative CM player with some pedigree, that would result in a decent window.
    Still some deadwood to lose though from the squad.
