We only manage to squeeze half a season out of him at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, from the clips he looks to me more of a replacement and certainly improvement on Wallace. He can play outside on the right or left, appears quite speedy, and has the advantage of being able to use either foot, something woefully lacking in Wallace, who's right foot was simply for standing on/walking etc. He can also head a ball down. Looks a useful addition were it to come about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he's at 103 for us, all in. (with 37 yellows and 5 reds :D ) Edited June 13, 2018 by cookeh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been said, I'd assume he'd play wide right of a 3, with Fessi on the other flank. Seems a decent option as a loan signing. not another f*****g slow wingman? if a wingman hasn't got pace, he needs to be able to beat 3 men in a phonebox.

Bear in mind that I haven't seen very much of him. but from what i have seen he did remind me a bit of Diego Costa. he's that sort of bullish player, not not nearly as tall as Costa, and almost certainly nowhere near as good.
