Except Garita would have scored 4 of the chances that Ladapo's had in the last 8 days. Mind you he probably wouldn't have created them.

Taylor looked ok this morninggaspargomez":2cym7c9d said:When I saw at Ladapo's football CV I said that he looked "crap". Most of his football has been played at non-league level (lower non-league level at that) plus he has been rejected by a host of clubs. Unlike some Argyle non-league sucesses of recent years (such as Bolasie, Noone and Barnes) he is not particularly young either. He's been tried in the football league and found to be not good enough so far.
In fairness, he has played much better than I expected. He's not as good as Ryan Taylor, but does has good pace and energy and offers something different. I don't see him playing for England anytime soon. But if he can prove himself as a competant League One striker over the course of a season then he was worth signing. I reckon Taylor will be out for a while and so Argyle are going to be very reliant on him.
