The ex-City striker scored both of his side's goals in Hamburg's 2-1 victory over Hannover 96 today. He now has 26 goals in 38 league and cup appearances this season.
The win lifted Hamburg up to second in the Bundesliga 2 table, but it's tight at the top. Leaders Shalke 04 (59 points) play fifth-placed St Pauli (54 points) this evening. Hamburg (2nd), Darmstadt (3rd) and Werder Bremen (4th) all have 57 points.
Fair do’s that’s a great return.
I’d have liked to have seen him under Morison alongside someone like Hugill.
I'm guessing that Bundesliga 2 is a significantly lower standard then the Championship.Quote:

For what it's worth, i wouldn't have thought that he was good enough at championship level, certainly from a physical point of view. He was never a bad player, but he just couldn't hold the ball up, pin defenders etc. Not his fault. I really wanted him to do well as he seemed like a tidy bloke. Good luck to him. It'll be interesting to see who comes in for him during the summer.Quote:

Good on him, I liked him
The most accurate statement in this thread.Quote:

I think that's harsh. He always looked like he was trying to me, and often looked downcast if things hadn't worked out.Quote:

Bundles the ball into the net after shoving the defender out of the way for his second goal today. But maybe he wasn't suited to having the ball pumped fifty yards in the air in his general direction while he was at City.Quote:

I didn’t get that impression from him at all. I felt he was frustrated just not a physical striker.Quote:

Guido Burgstaller closely behind him with 18 goals!!
