Honestly? No. He's decent, reliable, not going to set the league on fire but he's the type of player we need. He's not blessed with pace, but he's good on the ball and gets stuck in.
With Pedro been slow i think we need pace out wide. That’s if the intention is for Pedro to be our first choice striker.
 
Someone please explain what Jacob’s is lacking that I’ve missed especially compared to say, Giles . I would guess :
Pace
Positional awareness
On the plus side he’s strong , likes a tackle , can pass and has reasonable close control , and is the only player in the team who has a high leap and good heading ability .
He has had poor games and decent games and I would say lack of time on the pitch hasn’t helped . The more they play people usually improve because of match fitness .
Answers please I need educating

Giles was pretty overhyped becasue he was at boro the season akpom was when he scored like 30 goals etc

We overpaid for him, hes an average to better than average championship player
 
Doubt very much we have 5m to spend on a winger to compete for Jones and if we did would prefer we went back for Zeidane Inoussa.

I am hoping the player is better than some of the others mentioned. Baz when talking about the striker and winger made a point of tempering expectations on the striker and I would have expected him to just say the same about both if that was the case.
