So nothing special in the air despite his height? Sounds like Beckford.
Davies likes hard working strikers who aren't prolific? Hunt?


Is there any word on what number he'll wear?

Is that confirmed?

In the training photos, he's wearing number 38.

Let's face it, he can't do any worse, other than not playing, than Noel Hunt has so far, can he? If he's got good pace then that will be a bonus straight away. Good luck to him, we've been linked with him for ages haven't we?

Dexter is a striker with pace, could be a decent signing.

Let's hope BM gets the best out of him, would be a joy if he turns out to be a Jermaine we all knew & loved :)

I actually was expecting him to be good in the air. From the videos on youtube he seems to score loads of headers. The video of his goals at qpr is 75% headed goals.

Following his good performance against Birmingham, I hope Matt Smith gets a fair run in the team before Blackstock is used.
I once played against Don Revie.

Totally agree, he couldn't really have played better.
