The hashtag littered with people excited about this makes me sad. It's a 20 year old, with a handful of appearances and no goals to his name, on loan again. It seems we don't really learn. One day we might strike lucky but it looks a shit signing to me.
No poll cos it's a miss.

Worrying because we need goals so a track record of some sort would have been nice. Still, you never know and he’s got to be better than Samuels. And Donaldson. Oh and Guthrie.

I'm surprised we didn't go the full hog and say we'd beaten off 'stiff' oppostion for his signature. Probably Peterborough or Brentford for full effect.

Don't show me his goal highlights on YouTube.
Show me the appalling misses. Better way to judge is they quality of the absolute sitters they miss.

For absolutely no reason, I have a feeling he'll do ok.

Our horrendous record with strikers is in no danger of ending. I'm safe.

One thing though is that this will be an interesting test of the temporary interim semi permanent managerial duo’s eye for a player.

Only way this is a good signing is if we were paying Samuels higher wages and this is just a little cost cutting.
As a player is a gamble the same as Samuel's.
So long as he is basically free I dont much care. But if we are paying much for him its a big miss

It's a gamble, Grimsby fans seemed to be sad to see him move, hopefully we're paying fuck all for him and if it works it works. If not, meh. If he turns into another Rankin at least we didn't pay a million quid for him.

Personally I reckon we can't really judge until we find out whether he's THE striker signing or just A striker signing. If we sign some real quality (ha!) then this looks like a useful option off the bench perhaps.
If this is it for up front, its a bit of a worry.
