I find it slightly underwhelming that we are relying on a cast off from a team in a similar mid table position to us. The guy chose Everton over us and having failed to impress there is now coming here.
I hope I am wrong and he turns into a goal scoring machine. But I can't help thinking that having dodged the first bullet we are now intent on shooting ourselves in the foot with the second.

Let’s get behind him and give the fella a chance. He can’t be slower than Benteke, out of position more than Sorloth, offside more than Batshuayi, or injured more than Wickham.

In the Prem teams buy in the most talented and in form players from around the world.

They are given a year to 18 months to settle in, get up to pace and learn the game and if they can't do it they are considered to be flops/donkeys.

They then do everything they can to get them off the books so they can bring in another foreign player in form who looks good on YouTube.

I say, this is the same player who was so coveted 18 months ago. Maybe a new environment and encouragement will work wonders? Look at what Conte has done for Lukaku at Inter.

Only reservation is him doing salutes to the Turkish military after he scores, don't think we should be encouraging genocide as a club.

If punk ever happened I'd be preaching the law, instead of listenin to Lydon lecture BBC4

If Roy chose him then clearly he must have a plan for him.

Not sure he did

If he puts a shift in and manages to find the net regularly then fair do's. Even his comments about the club on his transfer to Everton might push him forward to put in a shift. I'm hoping that we get another attacking option in this transfer window as well, perhaps with younger legs.
