Not that involved most the game but does come to life and produce some unpredictable moments when needed . Should have scored that though today.

Made the chance himself too.

He's a great signing. The goals will come.

Bad miss but none of our other strikers even create that chance for themselves. Also set one up on a plate for Pereira.

He's a handful , won't score as many as he should but always a danger . Good touch too , get the ball to his feet .

Done more in his few games than Grant all season He'd rip up the championship.

Heâ€™s better with the football than I thought he would be - heâ€™s made that chance of his own accord but having done all the hard work he has to bury it from six yards out. I donâ€™t wish to appear too critical but heâ€™s missed a great chance against United too and in our position we cannot afford that.

He's been great. 3 home games coming up, i believe he will score more than 1.

Leads the line well gave Burnley defence all sorts of problems coming deep and pulling centre halves out wide. Pitty he didn't score but put it on plate for Pereira.

This guy makes us look a different team. Gutted he missed the chance but he made it all himself.

On another day he would have made up with it with an assist for Pereira.

He will get goals for sure

Not seen it mentioned elsewhere but commentators on Burnley YouTube highlights say that linesman flagged for offside after Diagne hit bar, so it wouldn't have counted.

No striker scores from every chance created, but what a relief to see someone creating a chance.

Was a good two metres onside when the pass was played.

Deadly from six yards out and offside. Hold up play and general man handling of defense is good but has to start hitting the back of the net more often for me to get excited about him

Can't argue with that , its the goals bit now

paulosull · « **Reply #289 on:** March 07, 2021, 02:49:36 PM »

Thought he looked dangerous today but must be disappointed with balls into box today especially from byline with alot of balls being to high for him to get any direction on them.

FallOutBoy · « **Reply #290 on:** March 07, 2021, 05:36:20 PM »

He reminds me a bit of Marc Antoine Fortune. He's a handful, but he needs 5 good chances to put 1 away. (And his hold-up play isn't as good).

I'd be looking elsewhere come the summer.

TheJacko2000 · « **Reply #291 on:** March 07, 2021, 05:40:56 PM »

Not really imo. He's only had 2 really good chances that weren't offside (none today) and one of those he created entirely himself.

Topman · « **Reply #292 on:** March 07, 2021, 05:43:14 PM »

I said on the 20th February I felt he was useless and I havenâ€™t changed my mind. You donâ€™t get really good strikers on loan. Itâ€™s the one area the Albion always go cheap on as itâ€™s the most difficult and expensive to fill.

I thought his cushioning of the ball, and laying off, under pressure, was excellent. Knows when to draw a foul as well. With the right delivery, Iâ€™m confident heâ€™d score. I like this guy.

Oldbury24 · « **Reply #294 on:** March 07, 2021, 05:59:49 PM »

If he was currently on 5 or 6 goals we'd be in a better points position but still odds on for relegation. I'm hoping those scoring stats keep the suitors away as I think he would be superb in the Champ, having the likes of Grady, Pez, Grant and Robinson playing off him.

Dexy · « **Reply #295 on:** March 08, 2021, 06:28:25 AM »

The best we could have hoped for and better than what we have but I think it's clear over the last 4 games he's no finisher , not at this level anyway .
Another damning result from the Summer recruitment from Dowling and Bilic .

ex coseley kid · « **Reply #296 on:** March 08, 2021, 09:40:37 AM »

Please sir, can we have some strikers in the summer?

mig · « **Reply #297 on:** March 08, 2021, 09:51:05 AM »

According to the below tweet he has the highest expected goals of any player in the league since his debut. There is a positive in this, in that he does seem to create opportunities for himself and clearly gets in the right positions.

But ultimately he has to start putting the ball in the back of the net more often when in those positions. Right now, given how tight our budget will be next season and how far it will have to stretch, I would pass.

Personally I 'd keep him for the Championship season next year. We need to add a quality striker to the portfolio.
Diagne, Grant, Robinson and one other should be more than adequate.

baggie38 · « **Reply #299 on:** March 14, 2021, 02:56:38 PM »

I'm convinced this guy either doesn't know the offside rule or they don't play it in Turkey. Seriously awful striker who seemed to look OK in his first two games for us. I'm personally glad we aren't staying up because I wouldn't want to pay 4 million for this donkey to keep him. Another thing he does which winds me up is uploads videos on his personal Snapchat of him smiling driving his 280 thousand pound rolls royce after we have lost.
