    Unfortunately hes arrived at a time when the fans are feeling short changed and antagonised with the transfer policy so will probably be under more pressure than normal to hit the ground running.

    He seems to be in the midst of a seriously fallow period of goal scoring over the last year or so. Wonder what his confidence is like.

    We dont really have the luxury at the moment of affording our front men a load of time to find their groove. Still havent had a goal from our striker yet this season.

    Showed a bit more promise in that half. Could have done better with scuffed shot but decent movement and link up.

    I thought his movement looked good but finishing somewhat suspect.

    Aye but strikers at new clubs are always a bit like that until they finally put one away

    We looked 100 times better with him up front than Idah.

    Should have done a lot better with that chance in the first half, but a good display none the less.

    Would be starting him in Kazakstan.

    Hopefully his misses was just a bit of rust given he hasnt played much. Definitely prefer him to Idah. He creates more, gets into better positions, and at least pulls defenders around when not on the ball.

    His movement is excellent, so hopefully a goal gets him going.

    Very mobile, good strength and with more game time the goals will come.

    He needs to start a game with Reo, as he is more likely to get direct passes.

    I like him, a wee goal and he won't look back.

    The one thing you always look for in a striker is movement and taking up the right positions, the goals will come for him.

    He actually moves. Therefore I prefer him to Idah.

    Still think there's more to his game on the ball based on footage I'd seen but then again he also had more space. I think playing him and Maeda, Nygren right, in Tuesday would be smart.

    Promising.
    He's a rough diamond, but he's got good pace, industry and goes in where it hurts.
    Definitely want to see more of him.

    I think he offers more than Idah. Dropped in and linked the play well a few times but still looks a bit raw and brainless at times. Want to see him get more games and see if that helps.
