He can be, but seems to blow hot and cold. On his day a matchwinner, on an off day invisible. Still, tall, pacey and can score goals.
Not Nugent, but not Parkin or Pericard either!! ;D

Left footed tall striker. Will replace Mama (who must be fairly badly injured)
Not one to set the pulse racing. Similar feeling to when we signed Craddock and he did an excellent job for us

Strange one.
He's not a targetman is he - despite his height?
More of a skilful, incredibly moody, blows hot-and-cold, occasionally disruptive maverick?
Ring any bells? ;D

has ability but has an attitude too, not exacttly going to set the heart rate going but he's better than what we have left as options.

TOP PLAYER, REALLY TALENTED, IN THE FULLER MOULD.
I HAVE LOTS OF WOLVES FANS AS MATES, AND THEY SAY THAT HE IS BY FAR THERE MOST TALENTED PLAYER, BUT HE CAN'T BE ARSED.
GREAT SIGNING BY T.P, LETS HOPE HE CAN WORK HIS MAGIC!!!!
oh shit, caps lock!

I remember when he was hitting the headlines (before Wolves - was it at Coventry) many people were saying that Pulis should have gone in for him but he went to Wolves instead.
Another one who has lost his way - like Freddy Eastwood - at Wolves.

Didn't Coventry pay £1million for him from Arsenal after he did well against the in the FA Youth Cup for the Gooners?

Post by Stick It On Cort's Head on Mar 14, 2008 10:10:30 GMT
yeah, i think we should sign him if things go well, could hit the ground running in this side.

I think Arse sold him for disciplinary reasons of some sort, didn't they?
Everyone seems to say he's got all the ability in the world, but he seems dogged by accusations of laziness an moodiness.

True, Mark ;D
Only a 1-month loan.
Anyone know if this can be extended AFTER the March 27th deadline.
Or does it sound like it's definitely just for the month as a short-term stopgap?

Yes knowles they did
Went to Perguia (Italy) for two years after that, was on loan to Blackburn for the last year. Came back to England and to Charlton for a year and now at Wolves. All free transfers since £1mil move from Arsenal to Cov
Scored 34 goals in 109 (75) league appearance

Was just going to mention Perugia
Odd one this- certainly has immense talent - showed at the Brit a few seasons back with 2 excellent goals but agree, very hot and cold.
I never knock a Pulis signing as he rarely gets it wrong- certainly more in the Fuller mould than Mama. Could be a short term emergency option. I'm sure if he went elsewhere the board would have been plenty of why didn't we get him posts. Alogside Fuller could be a real handful- let's wait and see.
So much for those who said Wolves wouldn't loan us players- cue the journeyman posts from the muppet show, we all know had he say gone to Watford the same individuals would be giving the usual anti-Pulis tripe.

Seems like mama is out to me so this is one of the 2 strikers pulis said we would have to get if mama was injured.

The more I think about this, this is a really surprising un-Pulis-like signing.
He basically seems to have signed ANOTHER Fuller; moody, very gifted, a bit lazy.
I wonder where he'll fit into things over the month? Could 2 Fullers play together?

You are fucking joking right?
If he was another Fuller why the fucking hell would those Dingle twats let him join us?
He's going to be warming the bench , lets face it!

In style, rather than substance RAF.
He seems a Fuller-type. Even the Wolves fans admit he's extremely talented, but has other failings.
Manager Mick McCarthy says: "Jay has not been involved recently and Tony Pulis is looking for someone to replace the injured Mamady Sidibe who has a hamstring (injury)."I told Jay if he wanted to play at the moment he would have to go out on loan.
One or two first division sides have been in for him but he didn't want to drop down a division.
"There were a couple of Championship sides as well but Stoke came in yesterday.
"They aren't in competition with us, given the points difference, but maybe Jay can do us a favour and do a bit of damage to our competitors."

Sorry ignore me, I'm still pissed from last night.
Good luck to the lad, hope he gets the chance to prove me wrong.
