    When you've no money the amount spent on something is important.

    We need to start seeing value in him.

    Spot on Fordy. So how's about you stop calling him sh!te and give him a chance?

    It's not important because it isn't being spent.

    His value is only relevant to his transfer fee in a retrospective mindset.

    A retrospective mindset could see us playing Stuart McCall in midfield because he was good historically.

    Do you see why the fee is currently irrelevant?

    He only came back in the summer. Picked up an injury during pre season, and was only fit to play in the 4th game. You do know there is a difference between fitness and match fitness don’t you?

    He was getting himself into position, one shot that went over the bar. I need to see him when he had more than 5 mins play. Suggest you read your tea leaves after you have drunk the tea not before;)

    Can't argue with that mate but you've got to give him the chance to play and show that value. No point writing him off after 5 mins on his first game back from injury.

    How long has he been here?

    Signed for 250k and you're still waiting to form an opinion on him?

    Do you see him getting ahead of Donaldson or Vaughan?

    You keep hoping he will come good. As you say he comes back then picks up an injury which results to no pre season. Comes on for 5 mins blasts one over the bar when should really be hitting the target.

    You wait but you could be waiting for a long time for him to produce week in, week out because he just isn't good enough and an extremely awful signing by the club.

    Bradford City the club that waits in hope, then compain we have no money but we waste it on signings like this.

    The £250k is only what Abbott and Rahic valued him at, it doesn’t automatically make him a £250k standard player.

    Hes a league 2 player mccartan simple as, Lincoln didn't see him as a league 1 player but was used for rotation in there squad to give the other strikers a rest when needed. This is surely how we will use him. I get that people think we massively over paid for him but hes not as bad as some of the players in the squad

    He ain't brilliant but it's only league 2 were in, if he was a good enough squad player for Lincoln who won the league why isn't he good enough as a squad player for us. If he was our main striker then yeah I'd be worried but he isnt

    Fordy, can we just enjoy a 3-0 win - at least over the rest of the weekend? You have drummed on about it being a results business but have done nothing but moan since yesterday (you're in danger of become a parody of yourself ;))

    Ex
    exactly why not.
    He is exactly the type of player that will get goals in this league.
    Feeds off of defenders mistakes, and in this leave defenders make a lot of mistakes.

    You’ll forever miss the point sunshine, so I think I’ll politely decline.
