We've had trouble shoe horning him into various positions...We don't play 442 very well as we get over run in midfield, He's not great playing in the hole, or out wide and he certainly can't play the lone forward role in a 451..We've tried them all..He was a better player the season he arrived but seldom started because he didn't fit the scheme....The partnership with Smith isn't going great..

anyway he's yours for 3 mill.
Sounds like a bargain ha ha. Trouble is we haven't got any money until our takeover by the Omani's. By the way, whats the capacity of Elland Rd? It looks pretty big on TV.

I may change my mind if he can play in the hole with two wingers on the pitch but for me he's not a lone striker and he's not got a good record in the hole I think I'm right in saying..

...he's not a player to build a team around and ultimately that may hold us back...I'd imagine 64 and Riot would agree with that...

btw 64 forgot to mention though he may have Riot was in touch before the new year, nice to hear from him
Yes he's happily retired
