    Ive seen quite a bit of this guy. He has pace power and is good in the air. Scores goals for fun in the MLS plays more through the middle than out wide. Not sure what he would make of the SPL with Defebders noising him up as the MLS is a very open and attacking orientated league.

    If he was no more than 2 mil then worth a punt he could be anything.

    What about a loan with the option to buy, therefore reducing the risk of splashing the cash on a player who is used to a very different style of football compared to SPL??

    Don't know if it would be an option but if you don't ask you don't get!

    i didn't think he was as old as 29... the defenders in euope are so much btter than those in the mls, will he be able to adapt to being pushed off the ball and getting presurised?

    half the price of faddy, maybe, but 1.5m for a 29year old proven in the mls or 3 million on a proven 24 year old.... your going to get a max of what? 3 seasons out of him and f'all back on him.
    faddy, you can get 8 or so years out of him and in that time could sell him if ya so desierd. i know which one i'd pick.

    Elboy, i've only seen the clips that are in this thread but faddy can provide goals aswell as score them, this guy, from these clips, only scores goals,. like you said fadddy keeps posesion too. i have no idea about this guys pace, in these clips he takes 3 steps max, anymore clips of him running?

    the guy is a gamble, but he's also [SIZE=-1]false economy- even if he is as good as faddy, which i dont see...

    Totaly agree this guy is a gamble.If it was a choice of him or Faddy then Faddy wins hands down. For exactly the reasons tou have stated.

    I was in Canada last year for around 6 months and watched quite a bit of the MLS. This guy is an explosive player who you wont see in a game then all of sudden he will explode into life. Seen him score a number of powerful headed goals and looks like he can handle himself. Having said all that it is very dificult to * the ability of any MLS player as their are a number of journeymen pros in their late 30s that are lightning up the league.

    Doubt you would get a loan out of the mls. Very stubborn league. And since they own all the players contracts.

    i really think he could be something better than faddy and cheaper but at the of the day, its WGS who makes the decisions and 9 out of 10 his international signings are something else
