Only made 9 starts but has 6 goals
Worth a risk i would say and he has pace,
A gamble maybe but what we got to lose ?

What the hell! How are the likes of Stoke, Bournemouth & Watford able to as much as they do on players but we either have certain players on waaaaay too much or the money is going elsewhere. Greg is a waste of wages, Field is just as good! We probably have around £200k of wages sat on the medical table. Which is our own doing for allowing our squad to be so old and signing injury prone players. If we aren’t going to play Burke, get rid. If we are paying HRK more than £5 a week we are getting robbed. Our squad is so thin already is crazy and yet we are paying as much in terms of wages as anyone else.

I like him. He has pace and finishing ability which we lack up front and his pace will be dangerous on the counter-attack. He could be the perfect strike partner for Rondon in a 4-4-2.

I was hoping for a striker in before Brighton
Its a must win six pointer .............
Can you imagine the after match debate if we dominate and again miss chance after chance Doh

Huge need for a goal scorer, but equally, someone to create from midfield. As said before, injuries, 'etc' have meant no Phillips, no Chadli, no Mozza.......we need someone in that role just as much, IMHO Blush

32 year old Hugo Rodallega :/

Lets hope its just paper talk

Open minded, but I've got more faith in a forward /striker /goal scorer bought under AP than I ever would've had under TP.
Could be a shrewd short-term move

Not so sure Drewks, it does not make a whole lot of sense to me if the papers are to be believed. Why would we offer £5 million for a striker that has never been sold for more than 4.8 million euro throughout his career, his last transfer was for 1.6 million euro and the two transfers before that, were on a free. We would also be his 3rd club in two years, he was not good enough for mighty teams like Fulham and Wigan, who both gave him a shot, sounds like paper talk to me, if it isn't we need our heads looking.

I wouldn't expect us to get any striker before 31st. Which decent striker will come here, with the threat of relegation, if he can go to another Club (preferably in London, Cheshire, or South Coast)? His Agent will advise him to hang on a couple of weeks for another offer, then a salary auction.
