He’s 22, plenty of room for improvement.

If you can get 12 goals off the bat whilst moulding him into a better striker for years to come, then, yes.

Or he reverts to his mean and never gets near 12 again because we play totally differently to Ipswich, and when Ipswich did play with more control he hardly scored despite being in the champ.

I think there's better talents out there. I think he's got some tools but I don't think he's all that.

He didn’t play for Ipswich last season my mate.

I did know this sorry, my bad.

Yeah, was on loan at Hull.

A few of my mates are Hull supporters, and they say he was very good but injured quite a lot

Tailor-made

I thought the same, sounds exactly like our type of striker.

We've seen with Dom that the moment he comes on he's winning flick one and holding the ball up. He needs to up his goal involvements there's no denying that, but I'd feel a lot more comfortable seeing him come on after 70 mins than the other option.

Seems to be the summer talking point regardless.. lets hope we sign someone so shit hot up front, who can run all day, all this becomes redundant.

Whoever it is, please please please do not sign anyone with even a sniff of an injury concern. DCL and Ferguson before him, we wasted 5 years on each. "No need to buy a new striker, if we can just get the big man fit.. he'll be like a new signing" none of that bollocks, coz they never are, are they.

I'm not trying to be funny but we don't have the best luck signing strikers who actually score goals.

I'd keep him until we can prove otherwise.

DCL thanks for the service but he wants to be elsewhere so he can do that. Chermiti gets a loan. Bring in another.

He's such a rotten footballer though.

Bags but you just can't be watching him for a whole season.

Didn't start games until Moyes came in, scored 10 at the worst this season, but yeah get rid of him

Everyone who dared to criticise him - eat shit!but also please enjoy the win!

Shocking goal keeping but good strike and it only went in because he hit it early and before the keeper had set himself, so credit for him taking it on.

Crazy player but you've got to give him his props, gets his shots off, scores goals.

Would still comfortably sell for the right price, awful footballer.

If he stays next season I'm thinking he depresses more than he pleases.

Having said that, providing he's last resort and we sign a much better striker in the summer I wouldn't be THAT against keeping him as I can't argue he gets goals like.
