This was a desperate signing, nothing more.  I will be shocked if he pays more than 10 minutes for us.  In fact, I will go as far as to say, if he starts a single game for us, we have either got terrible injuries, or have given up the ghost and have accepted relegation.

He hasn't cost us anything other than wages and we only had Samatta and Davis. We may end up needing him at some point so I didn't see the problem with it.

We absolutely had to get cover in and he was available.  He was never going to play much.

Contracted until June 30th.

Was on bench yesterday and Sheffield but fact he didn't come on either when we needed a goal suggests we just signed him to say we'd got a striker in on the last day of the window considering DS had said in the days beforehand we would certainly sign a striker.

He might be more use in July than Reina or CantLeadAHorseTo-water.

Better off playing Barry or Vassiliev, at least they are part of our future. I wonder what we are paying him for the splinters.

And if we hadn't have signed him, all you would have heard is 'I can't believe they couldn't find another striker in all the leagues in the world to bring in as cover'.

The sole reason he's here is so that we're never in a position again where we're forced to play without a striker.  Of course we should never have been in the position in the first place.

Although no striker was still an improvement on Wesley!
