He was still completely inept, 15mins for Leicester on loan, that decision alone was enough to sack Cooper

Perhaps we never wanted him to be Cup-Tied. 😀

Tin hat time but I think he's got some skill. Whether he shows it for us is the question. He's the sort of player who never really looks as though he's trying particularly hard but can still produce, in a very small way he plays like Berbatov used to. Maybe he needs a bit of confidence...I'm scrabbling here.

He does appear two-footed in that he is predominantly right-footed but will shoot and cross with his left foot and has scored with both feet.
I believe at Celtic there were issues with his work rate.

I was thinking the same earlier today. Not in Berbatov's class, of course, but he does have some skill.

He's better at running with the ball at his feet than he is without it but he scored 57 in 94 for Celtic, albeit against lesser opposition, so he knows where the goal is. Without belabouring the Berbatov comparison he's another who prefers placing the ball to putting his laces through it which can make him look a little underpowered.

I wish; 10% of his dosh would be very nice.
Sorry if it looks as though I'm overstating it but I do think there's a player in there. Somewhere.
There clearly is and his goalscoring record with us, while nothing to shout about is not a disaster either. As I and others have said, on the face of it we could have saved ourselves £25m, stuck with him and not be much worse off. In terms of hold up play he’s a big drop off from JPM but then so is Nketiah. Just think what £25m could have got us at LWB. All water under the bridge now though.
