I suppose that's the theory

Although as I note elsewhere playing hoofball to the six strikers we already have doesn't appear to have done any good. So unless young Mr Hartson can jump a couple of feet higher than everyone else or, all of a sudden, we start playing it on the floor and crossing accurately, it looks on the face of it, a complete and utter waste of money.
