he looks reasonably big (for a footy player anyway) which will help, i had all visions of him being a tikki takka style lightweight who`ll easily be shoved off the ball.
welcome to the club lad.

Never seen him play but hope it's true and he is signing for us.

i was listening to an italian expert the other day describing him and he was impressed with him last season at roma in that he was scoring goals in an average side. technically very good, two footed and certainly knows where the net is. also takes a mean free kick.

excited to see him play.

Promising young lad who could have a great career with us. please to see we're addressing the striker position too. long time coming.

he looks a bit heftier than inzaghi in that picture, i hope he`s as physical as that photo makes him look, hard to tell how big he is i suppose when he`s not standing next to someone but looking at that picture has cheered me up a bit, at least he`s not a f**king lightweight.

you know what mate i`d rather see a highlights clip like that than one full of all flashy bits of skill that lead to nothing.
he just looks like a tap in merchant who knows how to play on the shoulder of the last defender and he looks like he has that strikers instinct to be in the right place at the right time to knock in rebounds and deflections. exactly the type of player that we were missing last year, i like carroll but that was the one thing missing from his game and this lad looks like he`s got it.
it`s a big ask to expect a 21 year old to make a big impression at a club the size of this (as everyone knows if you play up front for us and dont score in 2 consecutive matches there`s an inquest) but we do create opportunities and hopefully next season when we hit the woodwork 30 odd times this lad wont be like the rest of our team putting their hands on their heads and decrying our luck he`ll be onto it like a shot and knocking the rebound in.
he`ll get 15 goals next season doing that alone.
if ian rush or roger hunt had a youtube highlights reel it would look something like that.
