I think this is fair. I really rated BTA. He brought a lot of qualities to the team, but striking quality wasn't one of them. 

He ran himself into the ground and never left anything on the pitch. He was a credit to the striped shirt during his time here, but I wouldn't want him back.

I liked BTA, we did alright out of the deal. Wouldn't have him back though.

Apart from Cyrille, Coventry haven't done too well buying our strikers!

BTA is an example of how a player can work out positively for a club.

We bought a player, who we sold for a profit. Whilst he was at the club he made on the whole a positive contribution. Generally he was appreciated by the fans and you could never fault his work rate and enthusiasm.

I wouldn't want him back in normal circs, but given we have 2 players with Kit Kat's as legs, and signing new players is risky.

I wouldn't rule it out. As a squad option in a more complete squad he's perfectly decent.

It was never his fault he ended up being the main man.

Was described to me once as “a really good striker who struggled in the penalty box”. Wasn’t meant to be a criticism, more that his poor finishing undermined his otherwise good striker attributes.

I’d take him back on loan til the end of the season though!

Luckily we have spent millions on Maja and Dike two players you can guarantee will be available for most of the season unlike the ‘anonymous’ BTA.

If Maja doesn't play another minute this season he's already scored more and has the same number of assists as BTA did the whole of last season.

We now have Cole, a kid or x midfielder to fill the void for what four, five, six games? Last year if BTA wasn’t in the team we wouldn’t have even made the Playoffs with both Maja and Dike part of the squad. It’s not their fault but having two of our best players consistently injured should make us appreciate BTA’s contribution more than some give him credit for.
