Agreed, it's too good to turn down for someone who has never played in the top flight. BTW Bruceys Beak, His link-up play is excellent, strong as an ox, good in the air and can dribble.
Cheers. The goalscoring record ain't great, but then Welbeck flopped on loan at Preston, and was magnificent for us last year. We could get Sturridge for £15million, this lad needs to be better than Sturridge, if he is, we'll be happy as pigs in ****.
You say his Goal scoring record aint that good. Well under Jewell he scored 9 goals from LW in about 20 games. LW being no where near his strongest position. Another point is most of the goals he scored were not tap ins (I know a goal is a goal) but he showed real quality and composure. He was injured for most of the 1st half of last season and we were a very poor side under Keane so anyone would of struggled to score!!
He spent a lot of time on the wing last year, and at the start of the season was injured so it took him a little while to get into the full swing of things.
" We've had Shearer comparisons, but we see a distinctly average goal-game ratio. " He was on the wing tonnes....... For goals to games start, its 1 in 2 - a load of his apps have been as a sub for 5 - 10 mins under Keane. More interested now I'd assume?!?!
It sounds as if you have only got £5 million up front for Wickham so that's put a spanner in the works for your spending spree
