Or a cheap addition with good experience to fill a gap when your strikers are injured or suspended and can offer something different, not just goals
I agree with that point, someone can be useful up front without scoring many goals, but I couldn’t see what he offered instead. He wasn’t much of a target man like Ibehre and Revell, not physical enough to knock defenders about like Drewe did, and not particularly good on the ball.
He did run around a lot though, so perhaps that’s it, dragging defenders out of position.
He didn’t offer nothing imo he just wasn’t a Championship striker. I think he’s a good squad player at this level, notyour main guy but someone who can come in when you have injuries or suspensions for a game or two and put a shift in. Maybe grab a goal or an assist. He was nifty with his runs and read the game well just didn’t hold it up or have a great finish. If you have the luxury of a striker you can bench who scores goals then he wouldn’t be at a club sitting on the bench.
