He's only about 5'9 and would struggle on his own surely
I really don't know.
In theory, the height shouldn't matter that much as it appears that our plan is to play the ball on the ground yet all bar two of our goals have come from crosses.
His scoring record in Scotland was good but no better than May's in his final season so if height isn't an issue, why has May not been given a chance.
I think height is more of an issue defending corners & free kicks as we din't have tall midfielders. Nuhiu often gets clearances and Joao headed three away against Reading.
Some of the best lone strikers weren't tall. Clive Allen springs to mind and Aguero doesn't do badly at Man City.
Think we have to trust CC on this for now.
The fact we are prepared to pay the thick end of £2m to loan a player for one season makes it clear that DC wants promotion this season.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
