The little I've seen of him I think he looks a pretty good striker. Fairly quick, good touch, good finisher. So I've no objection to us signing him - he's a better back up for Sturridge than Borini or Lambert ( albeit that isn't saying a tremendous amount, but I do quite like the look of him as a goal scorer).
But I see no point in buying him and then loaning him back to Burnley. We need a goal scorer asap. If we can't bring him in now, then leave him and get somebody who is available this window.
(Obviously there is also the question of is he really good enough for us. Again the time to find that out is THIS season. Not leave it til next season, and then find out by 2016 that we are in the same position as we are now.)
