    He has the potential. With luck and hard work combined with good coaching I believe he will make it.

    He’s an injury prone striker who can’t score. No goals in 4 months <whistle>

    Classy. If he can stay injury free then I think he will become a fan favourite.

    Top quality. Reads the game tremendously well, creates space and has a very quick brain. There’s a huge amount of potential here, will be excellent in 2nd half of this season.

    If he is given time… he’ll be great.
    I trust Eddie.

    We're only aware of one injury this far tbh, and because he was out for 4 months, it was clearly a proper injury, not just some stupid Dyer/Carroll "picked up a knock in training" ****e. Even Shearer got injuries.

    I guess we'll see from know on what he's made of, no one knows yet.

    The good news is… he didn’t enter the field of play with leg, hand and face bandages so he’s obviously a lot tougher than some…

    In answer to who isn't, Emmanuel Riviere springs to mind...

    2 goals in 3 pl games, could have had more vs Liverpool but very unlucky.

    Pancrates had a 100% goals per game after his debut.

    The kind of statistic is that Stephanie Guivarc'h and Xisco could boast about.

    Although Guivarc'h did his best to miss his chance on his debut, shanking his shot on an open goal from a yard out, still just went on off the post though sadly.

    Was that when we lost 4-1 to Liverpool and Ruud Gullit was commentating and tore into Guivarc'h after the match only to be announced as our manager in time for the next game >.<

    Think he will link well with Wilson, but he is a number 10 more than an out and out goalscorer. If we are to include him, Almiron and Wilson we may need to change our current shape. Not sure if there would be room for a Maddison in that combination either.

    Really important now that we highlight the weak areas of our team and bring the replacements in there, rather than just going out and buying big names.
