hasnt done anything for years. Strange signing if true, experienced but isnt he more of a target man type of forward....have we already got on on those...Although CI touch etc might be better id rather have someone with some real pace alongside smith

 

He's not a goal scorer

 

2008–2010 Wolverhampton Wanderers 46 (14) 2010 → Bristol City (loan) 8 (2) 2010–2011 Burnley 45 (11) 2011– Watford 45 (4) 2012–2013 → Notts County (loan) 5 (0)

are you not going to post the stats from the spells where he was quite prolific?

 

The only time I would class as prolific was for Colchester and he was 5/6 years younger then.

 

If we didn't have Smith I would say he is a half decent signing and will do the battering ram job but we need a Ryan Lowe type striker who is fast and can provide pace

Smith can learn from him, but i'm hoping he's one for the bench as after Sunday Smith should be undroppable for the foreseeable future. Although he's definitely more effective away from home. But his performance on Sunday shows how he can play at home IF we take the game to the opposition. Murray I can understand, this one I can't really. It's a goalscorer we need not another big lump.

Doesn't make sense, he'd be a great signing if we had someone like Derbyshire to play alongside him because he's a great foil for that type of striker (see what Iwelumo and Cureton did for Colchester in our league and the Championship) but we aren't seriously going to play him alongside Smith are we?

 

Almost as bad as watching Steve Flack and Kevin Francis play together for Exeter as a front 2 from the start. Flack being 6 ft 6 and Francis being 6 ft 7!
