100%. We need someone like him. Even if he flopped massively we don’t lose anything.

I would take him for a short term deal, for 6 months, he’ll do a job upfront.

Definitely, we need someone who can put it about and bully the opposition defenders

100%, not just for this season but as part of a longer term squad. Gives a different option to our normal type which we haven’t had since dzeko left.

We should have gone for Cavani when he was available. Just what we need upfront to covert KDBs crossing in absence of Aguero.
