Not exactly a signing that lines up with what has been said about creating a squad for 2-3 years. Nearly 31.

No doubt he'll score goals but can he step up to the Championship if we make it there?

This would be a reluctant pass for me.

We can do both at the same time - a couple of players that we know can help get us out of this division whilst still building for the future, innit.

I think it's a great signing. Ideal in terms of trying to get promoted this season. But it is somewhat at odds with the notion of building a squad this season that will both get us promoted AND challenge at the top end of the Championship next season/thereafter, which is what we have been told is the intention. It doesn't feel like a "building for the future" signing.

He reminds me quite similar to Rickie Lambert when Southampton signed him - he carried on scoring through the leagues for them too.
