I watched him playing for Sporting when we signed him, they played with 2 pacy wingers

2 creative midfielders who could get the ball to the wingers, he was just a deadly finisher who apart from that didn't really have to join the play up. We signed him we had 2 slow wingers, no creativity and just lumped it up to him. Round hole square peg.
