Quote from: KevinGage on July 31, 2015, 10:08:09 PMWe like big number 9's who can terrorise opposition centre halves and rough them up a bit. This guy looks like he should be able to deliver on that front.I am a wee bit concerned that he's 26 (27 in October) and moved as recently as January 2014 for £200k. Not a veteran, but he's hardly a promising young player either. That said, some players do develop later than others.Cant think of any?
