This. For those that bemoan his age. I read o. Here we signed Wright at a similar age, and that went well. Yes he uses his pace which will go in time, but he knows his way to goal, looks a natural tbh. Many are saying it's not their first choice, but he might just be one of two, and we get a younger player to bed in. If we get two seasons out of him and a decent tally of goals, £20mil is a bargain in today's market. So what if it's a stop gap? People are making out its easy to go get any top striker, but it isn't. There are not many around, some will want to stay with their current clubs, some clubs will ask silly money, some players will want silly money. It's not like playing championship manager, it's complex stuff.Originally Posted by Munchies
As far as I am concerned, he will get us goals, he will take the burden off Giroud, it's another option, he is better than Theo, so for £20mil, I'm happy. He is 29, this will be his last move of note, so looking st the way he plays, he will bust a gut trying to make it work and become successful.
