Quote from: FanNOTCustomer on January 31, 2018, 10:20:25 PMWe learned a lot from Hogan's youtube video - he basically scored loads via through balls.This guy seem to be just a tap-in merchant and a lot of the goals are where he beat (?) the offside trap that maybe down to him or the crap defending.So he's not a something out of nothing type like Kodija, but obviously we were never likely to land a striker of that calibre.He is simply a guy in the box to score tap-ins or take advantage of bad defending.As said earlier in thread, nothing special but a logical and 'on-par' signing for us should Hogan get injured, may even be better replacement. Most certainly enhances our promotion hopes.At least 3 or 4 30 yard plus tap ins from what I saw.....

What are you looking for in a striker?
They’ve just beaten Chelsea without him (Bournemouth).But if his face didn’t fit, and it does here, and he’s good, Welcome Lewis!

He's certainly got talent; an eye for goal; and fits our need for another experienced striker: but I do question his attitude & whether or not he will fit the bill. Hopefully he'll take the latest opportunity he's been given & thrive playing for a big club challenging for promotion. Fingers crossed eh?
Fuck the Sun.
Didn't he score against us for Reading last season as well?
Article in the Mail by a journalist who covers Bournemouth who seems to think he needs to play alongside a big player to get the best out of him goals wise. Not sure if that was the case at Sunderland? Anyone know if they played 2 up front?
