    Has he had enough game time for you to judge him?

    Or does he need a little longer to prove himself, if so how long?

    I think he's doing okay from what I've seen. Sure, he isn't Gary Hooper but then he was never touted as a penalty box poacher, was he?

    He's not even had a full season yet, so to call him a flop is ridiculous in my opinion.

    Give him till the end of the season before deciding if he's a floppy *

    Give him till the end of next season. He's shown that he's not terrible (maybe a bit more like Lassad than a full-blown Bangura :smiley-laughing002:). I think he's short of confidence and neither he nor Stokesy are playing in a system suited to their style of play. Might see the best of him playing alongside The Fridge or Fletcher.

    Think everyone's slowly starting to realise he was never the goal scoring Hooper replacement we needed. I'm still confident he'll be a good player for us though. I'd give him until the end of the season.

    Needs more time,no point in labelling anyone a flop just yet.

    Too many people thinking he is hoopers replacement, he plays best off another striker and creating space, he works the channels well and a hard worker, if he gets played with Balde or Atajic or the new bhoy then we will see what he can do. Playing stokes up front with him is just shear stupidity they're too alike and neither are traditional box players with goalscoring mentality like Hooper. Give him time.

    Looks a dud, but will reserve total judgement until the end of the season

    Not been impressed with him so far, but I'll wait to the end of the season before completely judging him.

    Far far too early to label him a flop, labeling him a flop already would sum up everything wrong with modern football.

    We should access things at the end of the season at the very least.

    What did you think of Fortune? I liked him for this reason but wasn't enough to keep him here.

    I'm not going to lie he's been a major disappointment so far.

    Needs until at least the end of the season though. Either way, I don't think there is a goalscorer in him. Needs to be playing off a proper centre forward.

    All I'll say is that I can see why he didn't play much for shalke.
