    Who said when we signed Dike,why have we signed a kid with hardly any games and goals if we seriously want a shot at play offs why didnt we sign somene experienced in engish league with goals

    Nope.

    Like just about every other signing for the last 10 years, I thought "who? never heard of him. Let's judge him when he plays."

    When he played, he was sh*t hot, and I thought he'd improve us. I certainly didn't think he'd improve us this much. Kid will play at the very top.

    My thoughts precisely. I've never been one to pre-judge a player cos you never know....

    Even though I'd never heard of him, I prefer to judge players after their performances for us. To say I'm pleasantly surprised is an understatement. He has been fantastic for us, he has a very bright and prosperous future has DK. :)

    In all honesty I can't remember. I was worried for him with all the pressure and expectancy that surrounded his arrival, but there was no need to. They didn't tell us how mature he was for his age, his attitude as well as his ability has been first class from the word go.

    I think we should all gloat really.

    It was said on here numerous times that this team was a goal scorer away from being special. We found one and the team is special.

    We all win. :D

    I was very excited to see him play. I wasn't 100% sure why.

    Have a look through the threads from when we signed him, there were a few people calling it a pointless signing.

    I thought we “all” agreed we were a big hairy arsed Centre forward away. Dike is certainly a big centre forward. I have no idea if he fits the final criteria.

    He is more than just a goal scorer

    A fair few wrote him off after his short cameo against Chelsea.

    Some of the comments on social media after the Chelsea game were appalling- glad he's turned out to be the player he is.
