The impact he had was astounding and the lob referred to in the report i remember as if it was
yesterday.

Note name spelling in the report.
Can't remember if it was before or after this he came on for the last 10 away at Brentford when we were 2-0 down and buried.

What he did then, winning headers, scoring and so narrowly away from an equaliser with a lovely chip caused me to post the next morning something along the lines of 'right at the end of the season we've found a striker'

Looked for a long time like I'd misjudged it, fair to say he's starting to make that comment look a fair bit less like 'wishful thinking' now

He still needs to show it over a longer period to be worthy of a £10m+ price tag, but how nice it is to be able to talk about a player like this for the first time in ages
