Decent player, decent addition, not the sort to really take us to the next level. £6m and potentially considerable wages for a 29 year old also isn't our usual sort of signing.

We'll see. Good luck to the lad, if he puts his mind to it he can get a fair few goals next year.

Until he's off to the 2014 African Nations Championship of course.
 


Oh I know, I live in Cape Town, I'll most definitely be at the African Nations Championship
However...

The African Nations Championship (sometimes referred to as African Championship of Nations or CHAN) is a football tournament which was first announced on 11 September 2007.[1] It is administered by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and is played between the best national teams of Africa, exclusively featuring players who are active in the national championships and qualified to play in the ongoing season. Expatriate players, regardless of where they play, even in Africa, may not qualify to take part in the African Championship of Nations.
The first tournament was held in 2009. It was hosted by Côte d'Ivoire and won by The Democratic Republic of the Congo. The competition was expanded to 16 teams for the second tournament, held in Sudan in 2011.[2] The tournament was won by Tunisia, in the wake of the Tunisian Revolution.[3]
The tournament is held every two years, alternating with the Africa Cup of Nations. The qualifying phase has taken place every even year and the final every odd year. From now on it has swapped years with Africa Cup of Nations.[4]

In short- different competition
Only African players competing in Africa attend this tournament

The next African Cup of Nations is in 2015

Confusing buggers. Well, that's a relief.
