Interesting. Can he play either side? For a team that puts a lot of crosses in, 1.73m striker is interesting
But we don't really put crosses in for the central striker, they're for the wide man or Rudi a lot of the time. If we've got a centre forward who can come and get involved in the game with his back to goal and turn that'd be ideal imo.

After never hearing of him 2 hours ago, I can now safely say he is on course to be the best striker in Europe over the next 3 seasons (unless he goes to Southampton in which case he’s dog shite).

It does beg the question what sort of tactics we would be playing as I assumed we would be going for a ‘target man’ type, which he doesn’t seem to be.

I keep saying it and i truly believe it, i don't think being 6.4ft or 5.8ft makes a blind bit of difference to how we play. The volume of crosses will still be high with a high ratio of headed goals scored next season. The key is having intelligence to time your run to create space, which puts you in a position to make it harder to miss that score. Top striker keep making good runs and can make a bad pass into a good one and a good pass into a great one. Tha aim is accuracy and timing, accuracy of the pass/cross and timing of the run..

I dont mind having a 6.ft player but intelligence and athletism is more important than physicality and height is my opinion. A mixture can work but the lad i question would not effect how we play, he would be a very good addition.

I wouldnt. He didnt look much in the playoffs across the games i saw him
Wycombe apparently want around £10 million for him. He scored 18 goals but a lot of those goals came in the first half of the season. He's on a long term contract so Wycombe are not going to let him go cheaply. He's also been linked with West Ham

I wouldn’t want to spend that on a player who’s scored 2 goals in the league below since Jan
