Well, if that was actually true that would be a pretty sad opinion, because LITERALLY the last great striker we had was a kid when he lead the line for us. Lukaku was 9 months older than Kean is now when he first came in and scored 15 in the league, but surely you knew that?
It's not me you should be saying that to. I fully expect any player we pay £30M+ for to hit the back of the net on a regular basis. It's not an age I'd be confident of someone doing well at in that respect, but that gamble has been made by Brands and Silva, so they better have this right.

But we have the midlands goal machine Dom in reserve if it goes wrong.

Twas ever thus though wasn't it Dave? We need a goalscorer, we have signed one, he needs to work out. Thats the essence of good recruitment.

Lets be frank, if Tosun would have come in and hit the net maybe Allardyce is still here. Few managers can afford to sign players who don't work out.

I kinda get the feeling you didnt read the very post you replied to lol
 
Haven’t wanted to sound negative but until he signs I’ve got Manny F hanging over my shoulders like a dead weight! Not for once do I actually think this is gonna go South but that one still hurts!

Admit to being a little anxious.. :blush:
 

Such is the market, £30m gets you very little up front. You have to pay twice that and more for proven quality.

I'm happy with signing Kean, I'd rather bring in potential than spend the equivalent sort of fee on another Tosun.

We won't have lost massively if he proves to be underwhelming, but the upside will be great if he fulfills his promise here.

Obviously we all want him to be a success, and it would be great if he hits the ground running, but he should be given the chance to prove his worth over time.

With or without goals from Kean, we should be looking at another striker on loan. If not now then in January. Goals have to be spread around and we don't have enough in the squad that contribute in that respect.
