you saw his performances vs leeds and middlesborough? if he can do that to good championship teams he can be even better in league one
its all relative,you need to use your brain a bit.

He isn't a great player and no one says that
He has qualities which we are lacking in this squad and he could add something extra to the squad
10 man middlesborough who continued to play open football instead of shutting up shop and a very very poor leeds performance which ultimately cost Redfearn the managers job.
He was shite. His goal record speaks for itself. One trick pony who will end up in the French 2nd division.
I really don't get this. He created loads of chances and loads of space. He was a touch of class. He is a great young player IMHO.
I can't believe people wouldn't have him back. He would vastly improve our play.

I agree with this
As a striker people will judge him solely on his goal records when he had a lot more to his game
I don't think he was crap, I just don't think he was as good or effective as other posters do.
He has great potential and is skilful but still has so much to learn and some of that is just basic strikers movement. He rarely used his pace to stretch defences as always dropped into the hole, this made him predictable and if the opposition played a DCM he was faced with 4-5 defenders between him and the goal and would get crowded out. The other thing he rarely did was made any runs in to the box, he'd link up play lay it out wide and stand admiring his work instead of getting himself in the box - that's basic strikers play.
If he learns that he could become a top top star, if he doesn't he will disappear into obscurity.

Couldn't agree more. He was far too predictable, could really learn from watching Kevin Phillips. If his movement was a little more intelligent then he'd be quick enough and skilful enough to score goals.
Sorry, thinking back maybe "Shocking" was a little harsh. The chase has summed how I felt perfectly:
I just felt too many people were getting a little too carried away. Sure he ran about but there was no end product from him.

I wouldn't be sorry to see him back. He's quick and showed touches of real skill. Div 1 defences would find it very difficult to cope with him.
He ran INTO players not AT them. His end product, and goals ratio, were both poor. Had he played on anything resembling a successful side he would have stood out as poor.
