"What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value. The idea that I trust my eyes more than the stats, I just don't buy that because I've seen magicians pull rabbits out of hats and I know I just know that rabbit's not in there." - Billy Beane

I could get them but the backlash would be unreal. All I will say is that he was injured a lot last season but came back towards the end and managed 13 goals in 20 appearances and started well this season with 4 goals in 2 and that included a 40 yard screamer against Verona. He has sort of calmed down since which is why they are letting him out on loan but he would definitely get us plenty of goals.Originally posted by brightonr View PostMust have some stats, surely?

He plays almost exactly the same as austin. Rotate, simple. play alternate matches to allow maintenance of fitness and replace them with one another for constant threats throughout the match. Or play destro as a wide forward, where he has played because of his pace and work like that. It isn't difficult to accommodate and he is a young talentOriginally posted by Rangersw12 View PostAnd how would he fit into our style of play ?"What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value.

Oh right , So he is the same as what he already have or we can just play him out of positionOriginally posted by nasser95 View PostHe plays almost exactly the same as austin.

Just absolutely daft. Strikers benefit from consistency. What you going to do, drop Austin after he scores in a game just so he is fit 2 weeks later?Originally posted by nasser95 View PostHe plays almost exactly the same as austin.

If anything, play strikers in a partnership.

I would recommend that but armchair fans here may think it is impossible to have two hard working goalpoachers playing together up front. the truth is that playing them together would guarantee goals, but people would say how he doesn't bring anything new to the side etc. He brings more of what works.Originally posted by Shepherds Mush View PostJust absolutely daft.

I wont be happy until we are playing 4-4-2 with 2 out and out goal scorers.
