We've seen him play as the main centre forward twice this week and well
.
While he's clearly a physical presence, a hard worker and capable of some nice lay offs...i'm still seriously concerned how he'll cope in Harry's absence.
Despite an impressive goal return in a very un-impressive Eredivisie, the best of compliments we heard were that he has 'legs like a horses' and shares similar qualities to Dirt Kuyt; not terrible qualities, but it doesn't indicate much in the way of ability. Whilst he is a strong player, he's not quick, nor tall or particularly skilful so i'm struggling to pin down what kind of centre forward he really is?
Striker's without pace or height generally seem to struggle in the league...(Falcao and Soldado are recent examples)
I sincerely hope he proves to be a good footballer for us, but even then I doubt whether he's ever going to be the right player to play alongside Harry...he doesn't seem to offer any qualities that Harry doesn't currently possess. I would have loved a faster more mobile centre forward who could not only deputise for Harry, but also compliment him.
Admittedly, I've only seen him in a Spurs and Holland shirt, so I would welcome anyone who's seen more of him to set me straight!
