He might be, but will you be happy with Hooper, Ady and Defoe as our first choice strikers for the next two three seasons is more the question even if he ultimately turns out to be no better or even worse then what we already have? If we get him I obviously hope he does well in the white and blue but our history with strikers, especially British ones is quite awful!
If he scores every week I'll be happy. I'd much rather spend a £5-10m and get a 20 goal a season striker than spend £20-30m. Will he do it? I don't know, is he as exciting as Llorente or Falcao, of course not, but there's little chance of getting them.
Whoever we get, I will wait until I see them play in our team for a season before I decide they're shit.
