Yeah he's not competing with Godden for haircuts.
We are crying out for players that can score goals, so finding out our new striker is 'atrocious in front of goal' sounds about right.
Playing the moral high ground by shouting 'give him a chance' is fair enough, but I think looking at his stats and the consistency of what other fans at his previous club have said, I am not expecting anything particularly special. Good luck to him though, hope he does impress.
Has he ever played as an attacking midfielder?Unless he plays him as attacking midfielder to try and replace O'Hare until the end of the season.
I can cope with that. As long as he stays fit(!) he's someone above the age of 17 to throw on in a game, but we're not stuck with him if (when?) his previous goal track record comes to fruition.so not a loan but a 6 month contract
I believe he has played as a Support StrikerHas he ever played as an attacking midfielder?
Looks like it judging by highlights. Dropping deep.Has he ever played as an attacking midfielder?
Exactly, he's a senior player to add to a depleted squad and likely to be off in the summer when we can try and get better if neededI can cope with that.

An injury prone player on Championship wages, what could go wrong!?
Looking at his stats he's clearly never played as a striker!Has he ever played as an attacking midfielder?
Just spoken to my neighbour who is very keen Preston fan. He had two very good seasons and then had some injuries. He has pace and does offer more than perhaps his goal ratio shows. He was quite complimentary and perhaps just needs a fresh start.
Our lot would rather Fabio who other than having a turn of pace and one admittedly very good strike last has proved ineffective in every appearance he’s made for usExactly, he's a senior player to add to a depleted squad and likely to be off in the summer when we can try and get better if needed
You seem in the know from previous posts, do you think we will bring in 1 more or do you think thats our business doneHe gets injured, but that could happen to s player signing a 3 year deal thats not had history. Or signing a player who decides to hire a bad pilot who fly's a bad plane.. u know what i mean..
218 games as a centre forward, 18 as a second striker. Bit like asking Godden or Walker to play as an attacking midfielder.Looks like it judging by highlights. Dropping deep.
As opposed to out and out striker

What are o hares?I don't think this needs any reference really, but these are his stats in the Championship.

Or is it to cover injury?Thats rubbish - this is a replication of the strategy Sisu employed in their early days with Coleman - filling depleted squads with fillers in a forever revolving door
The squad assembled under Coleman, in particular the 09/10 season was decent he was just an inept managerThats rubbish - this is a replication of the strategy Sisu employed in their early days with Coleman - filling depleted squads with fillers in a forever revolving door

Its not really though. He's on a 6 month contract to see us through to the end of the season. What do you expect in Jan?Thats rubbish - this is a replication of the strategy Sisu employed in their early days with Coleman - filling depleted squads with fillers in a forever revolving door

Lets hope its just a January tactic to get us through, its hardly inspiring but the summer will tell us all we need to know about the ownership.Thats rubbish - this is a replication of the strategy Sisu employed in their early days with Coleman - filling depleted squads with fillers in a forever revolving door
Played 82 mins in a game this season so not like he's completely crockedLast played 90 mins Nov 2021…

Because we were fortunate enough that Swansea wanted him off their booksWe signed Bidwell last January
