He's obviously got ability and bugger all available it seems.

What is he a 1 in 5,1 in 6?
We already have those type at the club.

The terms of this will be interesting.
3-and-a-half years left there, but signed on a free.
If this is seen as a cherry-on-top, opportunistic, sub-£1m signing of someone Schumacher believes he can get firing again to shake the forward line up, that we weren't really planning or budgeting for, can't have too many complaints. And he's still young and was attracting a lot of Champ interest as a free in the summer
Especially with his injury record, though, nobody is going to be blown away by it.
Seen as a package with Million and at least it shakes things up

I'm excited by this one. If you look at his career record, the lad clearly excelled last season under Schumacher. He knows how to get the best out of him.
He's young, relatively low risk financially, quick.
We've tried the multi million pound, big name foreigners, why not try an alternative. There's nothing not to like for me.

Feels like Odemwingie mk II to me. Was quite disappointed we didn't get him in the summer on a free. Will be interesting to see the fee.
Could go either way this one I feel. Due some luck.

Deadline is in just over 5 hours and I'd say that's about it mate, from the whole window. And even those 3 are questionable for varying reasons. Hoijdonk has struggled so I'm told, Maguire looks good in the MLS (something everyone says is akin to league 1 or 2 standard) and Manhoef is coming to us, so he's brilliant 😉

Wingie had a track record in the Premier League.. how is this similar? 🤣 I know it's been a long day with the dog but I'm not seeing it.

I'm on the Blackburn board, he's generally seen as unmotivated, overweight, cripplingly injury-prone, totally unsuited to a pressing game and with a terrible touch. An all-round disaster of a signing.
There's a Plymouth fan on there who likes him though. So there's that

He'll bring much needed pace attacking wise. We have absolutely none right now.
He has it in spades

In terms of how it's perceived by the fan base and the style of play of both players. Very similar.

For some especially strikers things just click at certain clubs and not others.
