….surprised me that he was born and raised in Slough. Before he came to us I thought he was brought up in Albania
I know that’s not a big thing, but I just have this view that an upbringing in Albania would make him play with real hunger and desire but I don’t really see that in his game. He looks to have a very decent technique, terrific physicality but I fear it flatters him because he’s not particularly effective.
There was one cameo off the bench that looked impressive but I don’t see any real threat from him. Best part of 100 games played and 18 goals isn’t the return of a £30m striker. He looks another of those lucky footballers to be playing when the financial rewards are so high.
