  1. Another signing I am impressed we are moving fast this transfer window gives the lads more time to gel Lambert gets my backing on this.

  2. My worry is he is another attacking player who does not score that often. I know he is only a young lad, but I would expect a winger to get a goal every four games, whereas his ratio is closer to one in eight.
