If he wasn't an import damn right you'd sign him but if you are aspirational you need a better player as an import striker (also one with less propensity to being borked).
Plenty of teams have been 'aspirational' in the past and have brought in far worse players than AK. His goalscoring record puts him about the same level as Andy Keogh or Roy O'Donovan which other teams would be happy to have as their main strikers. I'd also have him around the same level as Maccarone and Riera (who has scored 4 goals from pens).
So people can name, what? 6 or 7 effective foreign strikers off the top of their heads? Let me remind everyone of all the 'failures' (i.e. with a worse record than AK) since the Nix started in the A-league.

I thought he was great, terrific work rate off the ball, poacher who scored a few good goals. never let us down imo
:admittedly he did score at a lesser rate than AK
:so far
