I like him.
BUT
what is the point of a big target man if you don't put enough crosses in.
Instead of tippy tapping free kicks around the half way line and that sort of area we should be getting balls in the box

I like him, but he needs to be a little bit proactive re: defending from the front and aiming to win most headers.
Bulking up a tiny bit more as well as playing/training more with Boj should help.

he offers nothing - only one centre forward - thats mame
play him all season - yes he will miss loads - but guarantee 15 plus goals

watching the goals back he completely pulled out of a tackle on Antonio which allowed him to turn and shoot. None of our strikers have had a decent run in the side this season and i think this is one of the main problems when it comes to creating/scoring chances. I generally like how Hughes operates with players out of form or not performing, but i think he's been to quick to chop and change his front man this season

Has never had a real run of games to fully judge him and it's notoriously hard to judge people on their first season. But.... ...assuming we go big on a £20m striker over the summer as the new main man, has he done enough for us to persevere with him next year in "the group". Or should we be looking to cut our losses? He doesn't strike me personally as someone who's going to be suited to the Premier League. Get rid. Shocking player

Not every player hits the ground running. Keep him another year, review how he fits in with more games. Decide next summer.

He's got skill, but lacks a presence. He should be told to stay central, he seems to be everywhere except in front of goal. Bit unfair to judge him,on the number of games he's started, but doesn't look too promising.

If you play a 4,2,3,1 formation, it's not a run of games that you need. You have to bully the back four with that set up as a lone striker. I don't think he has that in him in the way Diouf does. That's not part of his game from what I've seen. In a 4,4,2 he maybe more effective.

Hard to say when he doesn't get a run of games, too many strikers

If someone offered us £3m for him I'd snap their hand off.

Not good enough , has shown glimpses of quality , but not nearly enough, easily bullied and no pace.

Undoubtedly has some ability but ultimately he's weak as piss, lazy and in truth, pretty shit.
Our forwards, diouf excepted, are crap.

My opinion Not including today's game, (i watched my son play football in a cup final) He needs a good run of games in the team. He might not score every game to start with but he will come good. Trouble is everyone will be calling for his head after 2 games of not scoring. It's always been the same at Stoke. People have to be given time. You can't just purchase strikers who score every game. They take time to settle. Much like Shaqiri who will come good. And Diof another who needs games..

Does little bits here and there, not good enough. Way to slow to be a top class striker in the Prem. looking for all the world like a waste of £7 million, we will have to give him time bollocks comes next, he has a nice touch blah blah blah not good enough end of.

As predicted the old he needs more time chestnut pop's up , it is not just about his inability to score goals he has been here a full season and still looks pretty shit.

We will find out next season, i don't expect he will be going anywhere... after all nobody has seen him play much. Lets hope he has a great "Preseason"
