He's a handful who wins far more in the air than Zohore and is one of the reasons we finish games strongly.

I also disagree that he won nothing when he came on, he won a fair few balls and some in the box too, somewhere where up until then only Morrison had managed.

The fee is not down to him.

Unfair to use that to criticise him when he's doing his job, just because a big fee was reported ( and apparently only a fraction of it will be paid unless we go up)

His penalty was on target in the corner and 7 times out of 10 was in. Even so , it's just one moment.

We are going to need him in the next few weeks, as Ken can't do it all on his own, so let's get behind him and support him like Supporters do.

I see some clubs where 'average' players do well ( Preston, Millwall) and wonder 'is it because the fans get behind them and make them feel welcome, they can relax, but also really want to repay the faith'

Then others, like Leeds ( and a few other so-called big clubs) where players are built up and then knocked down and discarded after one or 2 poor games.

Let's be more Millwall and Preston and less Leeds
But his fee is relevant because, especially for a club not in the habit of spending such money recently, there has to come a certain level of expectation with it and, sorry, I want something more than someone who wins a few headers, misses penalties and is still waiting for his first City goal despite having the chances to score a hat trick when he came on against Burton for that sort of money.
