For anyone wathcing the tottenham saints game he looks really impressive today.
We are crying out for a player like him.
Strong on the ball with good technical ability pace and power. His link up play has really matured
saints playing some nice stuff, could be a surprise package this season and finish top 10.
Yep. If you were to trawl back through this thread you'd see I've been against the grain a bit in championing us signing him. I couldn't believe that he went for just £13m last Summer... well below market value for a young forward coming out of the Championship having knocked in c. 25 goals.
He can play up top on his own, or in a pair. Very versatile attacking player. He can finish. Hold up. He's fast, he's strong. He doesn't get many injuries. Everything we were crying out for.
Most people said I was talking cod when he hadn't notched by January. Southampton were willing to sell him to Leeds for £16m. Again, I thought he'd have been great business for us. The window passed and now he's starting to come good. I think he'll score 10+ for them this season, more than any of our guys.
