You are also ignoring half of what I said.

1) he is full of raw talent, he excited me when he first came but defenders worked him out. His movement was poor and not varied enough. It's as if he has been far too talented of opposition defenders at youth and reserve level that he could create his own chances, so has never needed to learn proper strikers movement. He drops into the hole every time and rarely runs in behind and therefore doesn't vary his movement. Also when the ball was worked out wide he never made runs into the box. Nearly all of his shots were from outside the box.

2) he wasn't awesome. Awesome suggests that he looked head and shoulders above everyone else on the pitch in most games. He didn't.

3) the budgets tight, we need to spend our money wisely. We already have a lot of inexperienced players and need a goalscorer to complement cody. Nimely might score 15 in league, however his strike rate last season suggests he won't.

4) yes we're are in league one, but look at the teams that have been promoted - most have done so by having a proven goalscorer.

5) my point about middlesborough is tha Mowbray looked at him and didn't see him as a striker, he even came on as sub for them on the wing. And he didn't want to extens the loan. They wanted Juke, yet juke struggled to make an impact for them.

If he comes I would welcome him with open arms, but I don't think he is the right player for us.

It's more a formal and less than enthusiastic handshake than open arms with you though, surely Stu?

I wasn't disagreeing with the need.

I was merely crushing an alternative argument. It's my job.
