Dirty Northerner. For now

From the little video footage I've seen of him, he looks like he tries hard and runs to get everything he can. So it's a yes from me, but he might have to be told that the referees here don't like two footed tackles.
Absolutely no one at all with an ounce of common sense could possibly answer yes or no to this.
I like to imagine him being a sub for the first game of the season. Some nasty northerners spend most of the game kicking our flair players. 5 minutes to go and on comes Toko, the game is still tied and their is much dissatisfied chuntering in the crowd at it not being an attacking substitution.
One minute later Toko clatters their second worst offender, gets a much deserved yellow for his borderline red challenge and his victim hobbles back onto the pitch after lengthy treatment (they have already used all their subs to further park the bus and hold out for a point). Toko appears to have calmed down and quietly breaks up play, but as the end of normal time approaches we discover he has just been awaiting his opportunity. Their nastiest terrier, who has already put Buckley out the game and has been looking to 'reduce' Kaz sprints towards a loose ball, but Toko puts on the afterburners and goes through with a MONSTROUS challenge, fractionally late, that sends his opponent up in a cartwheel before he slams into the ground, limbs splayed like a newborn deer. Straight red. The victim is stretchered off after being carefully lashed down.
6 minutes of extra time are indicated, the game is 10 v 10. Kaz sprints down the wing, passes (yes passes!) centrally to March who steps easily around their still hobbling player. The crowd scream shoot, the last defender rushes towards him, their right back follows Ulloas run, the goalie sets himself.. Solly fools everyone and rolls the ball towards the right side of the six yard box - INIGO SCORES (it's a dream, obviously Inigo scores the winner). MARVELOUS SCENES!
Two weeks later Toko has returned from his ban, and again starts on the bench. In the second minute Joey Barton (yes QPR have not been promoted!) scythes down Ulloa but the ref waves play on. Ulloa pops straight up. The ball goes out of play. Ulloa taps Barton on the side and nods towards the technical area. Little Joey goes white, for Toko has got off the bench. He warms up without taking his eyes off Joey. In the East stand tea is spilt and Wurther's originals drop from slack-mouths. Such intensity has only previously been seen in Clubber Lang.
Soon all teams know - you don't **** with the Brighton.
I disagree. I think the answer to whether he will be successful is definitely "yes or no".
time will tell if he will be a good signing for us
Seems like a straight like for like replacement for Bridcutt but the video suggests he might take a yellow card or two.
Apparently he turned down Spartak Moscow and a couple of German clubs to sign for us.
