You know Mick, when i seen we were going to get him i thought the same also. But, i really believe this his Hodgson's Morientes!
He's just past it and not able to adapt. Far too immobile now. But here's praying
There's certainly a good chance he'll be Roys Morientes, the signs aren't good so far. That said, any fool can see that he is a good player (as they could with Morientes) so at least he has a chance.
Maxi Rodriguez looked like a Morientes until a couple of weeks back and he's suddenly seemed to get it (fair play to the manager for continuing to play him despite some pretty awful performances too) so we live in hope.
