Do you feel intelligent trying to outdo me with your quick and clever wit?
My reasons more than stand up. He looked somewhat good against a very, very poor defence and I don't think he'd cut it. Plus, that type of video shows you at your best, yet a number of the different clips of him within that video showed him failing to score. I'm sure you've said you do/not want a player based on limited knowledge in the past. Plus, this is a forum and compared to some of the tripe that gets posted on here, my offhand comment was surely passable.
And wasn't Jardel 34, not far off 35? And somewhat fat? A bit different, clearly.

I just want players that are good enough - I don't care what Youtube clips there are of them. If Ricki decides that this guy is the one who can score a bunch of goals for it, and gives him a contract, then he has my full support. It won't 'fill me with dread'.
Different players adapt to the league differently (that was my point with Jardel and what you said about Smeltz) so there is always the chance that this guy could be a revelation.
He could be pants too, I'm just thinking that limited knowledge of a player shouldn't mean fans are "filled with dread" from the outset. Innocent until proven guilty is my thinking here.
I agree. I'd also prefer to see more of a player before I pass judgement. The Macallister bashing seems to have stopped. Trust in Ricki!
