Proven league 1 striker, scored 22 goals from 44 league 1 games in the 11/12 season, down side, he has only scored 1 from 18 this year in the championship.
Take him on loan till end off season and depending on what league we in next year would depend on if we keep him.
Problem is this time of year you are either looking at unproven youngsters or players who have done well in the past but are either short of match practice or out of form.
