    Remember seeing him play for Reading and he looked a real handful.
    Reckon he could be worth taking a gamble on to play as a target man. Harewood won't be fit enough (or good enough..) to play every game so he'd be a good back up. We also need a more proven goalscorer, although I admit this is unlikely, especially in the January window.
    Someone like Tom Pope maybe?

    Looks alreight YT, versatile and a leftie, but its time fans made some shitty **** up ones as well for balance. Some of our past strikers vids would be into the hours am sure.

    The club needs to gamble, not going to pluck names out of the air but if you look there are plenty of decent strikers at this level not getting a sniff at clubs either in the Championship or Premier League. Might cost us a bit of money but it'll cost us a lot more if we go down...which with the current strikers is a pretty likely.

    Not meaning to be negative, just realistic.

    Keefy would have likened him to a car or car parts. Scrapyard mentality.

    Anybody's worth a trial, tbh. Whether or not he's good enough to sign, remains to be seen..

    Reading fan on twitter got back to me. Two in fact.

    @maffff
    @Andy__White talented player scores a few cracking goals from distance, nice left foot, strong, decent acceleration. No fitness.

    @maffff
    @Andy__White all the makings of a great player but just can't get fit. Getting done for drink driving ended career with us.

    @DanBrown1871
    @maffff @Andy__White A total beast, took us about half a year to work out which was his actual preferred foot is due to his beast hits.

    I love the typical Barnsley fan approach of most of you lot, it actually makes me laugh!

    Have some optimism for god sake, it's only a trial. If he scores a few goals then you'll be labeling him the best Barnsley player ever to be seen. Then comes the hate when he leaves, "money grabbing lovely person" etc...

    Looked a real find for Hereford and then also made an impact with Reading. Too many similarities with Odejayi for me and I would see him as understudy to Harewood in the first instance at least until he gets fit, which might be May! Worth a trial, but I think we need a 'fox-in-the-box,' rather than another Harewood. Jamie Vardy for me, although he got game time for Leicester on Friday.

    I say give the lad a chance, he's only 23 after all.
    Sometimes it just clicks, take Chris Wood for example; poor record before Millwall/Leicester but scoring for fun now
