A third choice focal point for attacks in case of injuries is good. If he scores that us a bonus.

Nothing suggests he is I'm afraid. Doesn't make any sense to let Hogan and Kodjia go to replace them with a Swansea sub.

To call him a Swansea sub is ignoring his decent goalscoring record in Spain.

Seriously if this is the best Suso and the recruitment team (scouts) can come up with then I suggest the owners look at this aspect of the club at the end of the season - I wasn't expecting the club to spend £millions however I was expecting more than an unfit midfielder and two untried forwards - I understand the keeper loan - at least that one made sense - has Smith been sold short on incoming players by the hierarchy?

Has to be better than Hogan and Kodija, but then again our cat would do better than either of those pair.  Welcome Borja and good luck.

I'm pleased we've signed someone.  Baston may turn out to be a good signing or a bad signing but either way a signing had to be made.

In the second division? Last four seasons, he has scored 13 goals in 77 games with three different clubs. Prolific he ain't!

It's an extra forward which is what we needed. Never heard of him though so we'll have to see how he does. Welcome.
