He could well be the Finnish Ricky, BUT free rather than 8.5m quid. Depth I'd say, with

the small possibility of being a very pleasant surprise, or at least competition for whoever else we've got.

He failed at Celtic and at 28 this is pretty much his last chance of proving himself in a decent (although not top) footballing league. He also has a point to prove.

Would also like to pick up a proven goalscorer, but our system is designed for goals to come from the front 3 and the #10, not just primarily the striker, so if we don't get one then I won't lose any sleep over it. I still think Nelson is good enough if he sorts his head out.
