I never diss any player until I see them play & will rate them over a season......however.

his goalscoring record is not very good apart from his stint at Wimbledon & loan periods in Scotland.....and even Magennis scored goals up there.

Reading his wiki page it says he found his playing chances "limited" at Bournemouth, Sheff U & Scunthorpe. Its at those teams we should be looking / concerned at imo.

Welcome Lyle & good luck.....you're going to need it.

Team, Games, Goals, Assists
AFC Wimbledon 150 55 21
Falkirk FC 42 29 8
Partick Thistle FC 36 12 6
AFC Bournemouth 33 2 1
Sheffield United 25 2 -
Scunthorpe United 25 4 2
Hereford United (liq.) 8 2 1

It's not that bad.

All the best to him.

As I said.....take a look at the clubs that he was at that actually means anything.....Sheff U, Bournemouth & Scunny. 83 games & 8 goals - 1 in 10 fgs. I agree his stats are good for the Dons but overal the goals to game ratio are skewed by the ones in Scotland.......

Means nothing, players mature and improve at different rates.

So the main thing is he has scored goals over a few years now and in the league we are in and looks better than what we have.

Where can i buy that hat he is wearing?

Good to hear from Gallen in the above

They sound like the same kind of player to me. Both play best next to a big man and they can feed off the knock downs.

That said, League One isn't the best division is the world and as a partnership without a big target man, I could see them dragging opposition centre backs all over the shop.

Something that I haven't seen mentioned...

Was he out of contract? I'm in shock that Roland might have paid a transfer fee for someone.

They might but those sort of partnerships never seem to do well for long. I’d rather one of them alongside a target man type. As well as the physical side someone with a good touch, football brain and ability to pick a pass (like we had in Yann or Burton). Neither Clarke or Magennis have all of that to their game, although it’s probably difficult to find in League 1.

@Callumcafc 1st paragraph of the link on OP

The highly-rated striker arrives in SE7 as a free agent on a two-year deal with his contract with former club AFC Wimbledon having come to an end.

@Callumcafc - pretty certain he was out of contract mate.
