Afobe or Naismith or similar

Proven premiership players is what we need right now...

Saying that tho he could hit the ground running and score plenty but I can't see it

Seems to be a great deal of angst regarding Afobe. Generally, not just on here. (NCFC) - avenging canary, Jan 10, 10:40:19
- We have players here who have done better than him. (NCFC) - usacanary, Jan 10, 13:59:46

        But do we think Afobe's worth it? I suspect not. And that's what really matters (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jan 10, 12:22:08
      - Definitely not worth that much now. Doubt he will improve very much, but how can we know? (NCFC) - derbyshire canary, Jan 10, 12:13:57
        
        Why would he not improve? He's only 22 (n/m) (NCFC) - thirsty work, Jan 10, 12:19:48
        
        Based on what I've seen (admittedly not that much...) (NCFC) - derbyshire canary, Jan 10, 12:25:31
