A convenient way to bury the Qatar saga But in all honestly looks a great signing. 10 league goals in 28 last season.

Stats don't look great on paper, but that means naff all as a striker at this club.
We've ruined plenty who had great records before coming here.

similar experience to towns other signings. Much better at getting signings over the line that last summer it appears. Certainly needed another forward option and would presume this will be the man for that given town already have Bowman, Udoh and Bloxham. He'd been offered a new deal at Pompey, so one suspects that he would have been given a fairly good deal by town. Udoh and O'Brien up top?

Isn’t he the one who caused the mass brawl at the end of the Pompey game last season ?

He was crap and Sunderland but did well and Portsmouth and got offered a new deal.
Good signing, keep on building Steve.

Not an out and out striker. We still need one of those
More of a creator hopefully
Did score against us last season

Though considering we don't play wingers I expect he'll be more of an out and out. At times town played 3 up top with Udoh and Bloxham in wider positions too. Wouldn't be surprised to see him in a no10 spot too. Cotterill clearly likes adaptable players who can play across positions so expect he won't be limited to one role/position

When I saw the name and pictures, I thought he was the Pompey forward who'd been really annoying here last season! That was Vela's infamous red card game and Louis Thompson hit a cracking late winner for them. Water under the bridge - welcome to Salop, Aiden!

Another good signing. I'm liking the experience we are going for. Another 3 and I think we are done.

Not an out and out striker. We still need one of those More of a creator hopefully Did score against us last season Dan Udoh got 15 goals last season despite often having to play deeper, hold the ball up and generally suffering from a lack of service. We may already have an out and out striker and pairing him with someone who can take on more of the target man responsibilities or link play with midfield (something Dan did very well last season) could free him up to be in the danger areas more. Edit; another one who's been promoted from this division also. Decent spell with Millwall between 2015 and 2017 where he grabbed double digit goals each season and Wall went up via the playoffs in 2017. Played a fair bit in division above too, though not prolific. At 28 though and with the experience he's got I like the look of this.

Don’t disagree, but a season with Bowman, Udoh and Bloxham as our striker ultimately won’t end where we all want (I fear). 1 more striker in please Steve

A lot of the criticism of Cotterill and Burt seems to have evaporated. Strange that!

Bodies through the door is what we wanted and that’s what we’re getting. All proven at this level and/or above. No complaints from me!

Sort the new kit out as well and I'll be a very happy man, great signing by the looks of the amount of Pompey supporters fuming about it on twitter!
