    Apparantly were about to sign him from Bury. Im nt sure what to make of this??

    For those that cant remember who he is he played for Everton and Norwich. He once looked a good prospect but his career has been blightened with injuries.

    24 goals in league 1 last season at a side that finished 19th

    Underwhelming signing yes but fairly cheap and I think we'll sign 2 strikers

    Championship standard. Found the goals in the latter part of his career. Be good cheap option. Fine with this.

    Past caring for names, he looks in good nick and off the back of a very good season in a poor side.

    Worth the punt.

    Second goal was a bit of a comedy one, all of the sides that conceded were defending about as well as we did last season.

    What can you say to this man. The lad will fit in with being ex Everton and injured all the time.

    Terrible standard. Clearly far to efficient for that level, he seems to be in the right place at the right time mopping up on poor defending throughout. He'll do as a cheap option. We've quite few forward slots which need filling.

    Yeah I mean even Daryl Murphy is stellar in the Championship, this lad would be fine I'm sure.

    I think so. Hope he's not our main striker though. That would be worrying.

    I'll give him a chance Bri but he's been a bit of a crock. Did ok for Huddersfield in the Championship. Grayson may know him from there,

    Eh? What you on about? I haven't written him of anywhere. I said I'm fine with it, in fact in the post you quoted I said he's far too efficient for the level he's playing at. Gordon Bennet. You see what you want to see fella. <laugh> <doh>

    Sorry Bri, I didn't mean it like that, I was agreeing with your post. No offence meant.
