He's only gone there cos Klose has just got an injury keeping him out for 2 months. If he hadn't got injured we were nailed on...
Why was it ridiculous to suggest that a free agent would maybe consider a 6 month deal at a team pushing for the prem?
Because his wage demands would have priced us out of a move. He was on a lot of money; I suspect he is on something similar at Lazio. He probably also thought that we weren't a big enough club and that he knew that if he were to join us, we'd sack him off after six months and he wouldn't be back in the PL. He wants to be a top flight footballer now, so he's gone to play for Lazio, the 'Bez' (Happy Mondays) of Serie A.
He's a bit on the old side for a striker of his type, will have lost his pace which was one of his main attributes
