Looking at his 8mins of highlights on youtube, it looks like he is a player similar to Taylor, but you'll also see that he gets wide and provides crosses too so they could possibly fit in the same team? But for that to happen Lameiras would be dropped and I can't see that happening at the moment. Maybe if we're chasing a game?? A good option to have for sure.

We don’t know what was happening with his personal/family life when he last considered us, what salary we offered compared to the current deal he has accepted, and a whole host of other consideration which rightly remain private.
Supposing any of you rejected one company’s offer of employment one year, only to accept it the following year because it was a later, better fit, wouldn’t you feel it odd if on arrival there were any residual bad feelings?
Get real.
I hate to be "that guy", but when you're talking about "earlier form" he's only ever reached double figures for a season once in his career. And that was 9 years ago. I know it's not just about scoring goals but this, coupled with the fact he's already rejected us and we're obviously not his preferred option just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It's unrealistic to expect players to tattoo the Mayflower on their sleeve when they sign but equally, this signing is totally underwhelming for me.warney":1gspx3ty said:He's hardly played for two years, though!

He does have the potential to be a really good signing, though, if he can regain his earlier form.
