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.

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.
