He is a decent player but we prefer strikers who have paper mache legs.

I liked him as a player. Limited, yes, but made up for it with his willingness to run and run. Never gave up trying. Thought he would do ok for you and was dreading him scoring for you on Sat

TBF DK, from what of seen of Stoke lately, they seem to make a lot of opposition players look like Lionel Messi.

Maja’s season is done and will still finish on more goals than BTA did for us last season.

This is a bizarre argument, without BTA’s goals last season we wouldn’t have been in the Playoffs. Where would we have been if he wasn’t playing? Judging a player on simply goals and assists is a little limited, what about the closing down, running the channels and actually being available for more than 50% of matches? Currently who has offered best value for money Dike or BTA?
