To me, I'm glad we've got the potential to have 2 solid goalscorers at the club if Jelavic gets back on form. Then there's Anichebe fighting for a place.

Under Moyes, he had 1 favourite and relied on his midfielders (Cahill/Fellaini) to chip in.

Beattie/Johnson. Johnson won.
Johnson/Yakubu. Yakubu won.
Yakubu/Saha. Saha won.

Hopefully we got competition now and an option of playing 2
 
I'm surprised we signed him to be honest, him and Sly had murder a few years back, can't see them two suddenly shaking hands.

If he's not hooking up for another three weeks, why have we bought him now? Will cost the club up to 200g for nothing
 

I don't understand this transfer. 6.5 million for a striker who is pushing 30. Best case scenario, he comes good for a couple of seasons. We're skint, we rely on player sales to generate transfer revenue. We're not a club in a position to spend 6.5 million on a player with no resale value.

What makes you think he could only come good for a couple of seasons?
 
We don't know really though do we? It could be all of it, it could be a tiny fraction of it. I'm glad to get another body in and quite a good one for the price I think.

Take an educated guess and say it's quite a bit of our kitty.
