On the other hand, in some ways l'd rather have that, than someone who has had no experience of English football at all.
As someone else said on here recently, l'd rather sign a player who has scored five goals in the Football League, than 20 in some lesser known foreign one.
Or Ashley Barnes for that matter, regularly played out of position wide left by Gus, one move to Burnley later and he is banging in the goals from his natural position, centre forward.
In effect we have done that already with the signings of Locadia and Andone, neither are target men but strikers and, (hopefully), goalscorers nonetheless.
