Tbh, just the type of player we don’t need. It’s not even if he’s a big lump - he’s 5’7’’.
Repeating old mistakes.

I don't agree. I reckon we need a fox in the box, assuming that's the type he would be. He appears to be prolific, albeit at U23. We definitely need one of those. |

Here's what I've gleaned from Twitter
Trust STFC:
19 years old.
2nd Year Pro.
10 starts, 7 goals in prem league 2? (no, me neither)
Some Reading Fan:
"Very physical presence up top"
Everyone else:
who/got to be better than Adebayo/give him a chance

Very little on him online, so best I can speculate on is what this might point to tactically - if he is indeed 5'7 (I couldn't find his height anywhere) then he's not going to be playing as a lone striker. That plus Wellens talking about wanting wingers suggests we might be looking at moving to a 4-4-2 of some sort.
Or he could play wide of a three...

You may be right. But a 19 year old? We’ve been down this path almost every year.
On their forum there is a thread about their academy players. There’s bit and bobs about him there.

Well we know in the window Power operates one out one in, so Alzate gone, frees up this kid in. Given it's been felt we're a bit top heavy with midfielders and a bit shy with strikers, makes sense. |

Unfortunately, there aren’t going to be many experience strikers wanting to come to a club 15th in league 2.
I’m surprised we haven’t signed Noel Hunt on.

Someone I know who has seen him play a fair bit says he’s a good old fashioned centre forward who should do well - and that he’d rather that they’d have kept him around. We’ll see.

Seems a decent enough signing, sounds like what we need up top if he is a big lad who will win balls and hopefully link play.
An early signing as well, I was hoping we didn't wait until the last week of January for all our business.

FFS....A Rookie? We have enough of those already..
Can't see that making any difference to this season at all. Hope I eat my words.
Not surprised though....we will get enough in to stay in the league...that seems to be the ambition from up top.
