So, we've seen him a few times in a Swans shirt. Wanted to know what everyone thinks about our new No.10 so far?
For me, he seems a good buy (though it's impossible to make accurate judgements after only a few games). He gets himself into good positions, holds the ball up well and long enough that others have time to get into the box or into a good position for a pass, his passing is good and his finishing so far seems to be spot on. Scored 3 in 3 for us now. (would've been 4 if he hadn't been incorrectly flagged offside against Malmo in the 2nd leg). My only problem with him is he's a little sluggish. Seems to have the acceleration of an aircraft carrier. His movement seems quite slow, but apart from that, I've not found much to really be concerned about.
What are your thoughts on him? |  | | |  |

too soon to judge but 30 plus goal in the dutch league and he gets in the right positions so Michu and him will score alot together given time. |  |

great clinical striker with good hold up play, what we have been crying out for. Shearer was never the quickest of strikers was he |  |

He's so far doing what he was bought for and that's scoring goals, 3 in 3 (should be 4), great return and i'd be surprised if he doesnt score more than 20 + goals. Your absolutley right, he does get into a great positions. An upgrade from Jason Scotland. |  | | |

You're right about Shearer there. Bonys goal against United was a good one too. Great position and snapped at it with power and accuracy. perfect! | | | |

All power and positioning, no speed or acceleration whatsoever. For these reasons, i just dont see us going in for Lukaku as our other striker. ML will want somebody nippy to play off the shoulder of the last defender, which is probably why there is something in the Rebic rumour. |  |

2 1/2 competivie games played - 3 goals and another good goal disallowed. If he keeps this up he'll be the signing of the season.
He's got strength, skill and quality in the air and on the ground. It's been quite hard to find any faults so far, but maybe he goes down a little too easily looking for freekicks that he's never going to get in the PL.
It's early days I know, but so far he looks better value than Soldado in the two games I've seen him for Spurs. |  | | |

Didn't look that sluggish when he scored over in malmo. |  | | |

I'm very pleased with him, he's exceeded my expectations. He doesn't have blistering acceleraion over 10 yards, but he is an excellent target man with great strength, which is what we were desperately missing in the second half of last season, and he is a clinical finisher in the box, again something we've missed.
I was miffed when he put that free header wide from six yards but who knows, a wet ball, a slight touch of jet lag, we're all human. He was coolness personified when he took his goal. |  | | |

Looks good so far, exactly what we needed up front. Looks strong and physical and will be able to take some of the strain of Michu.
Hopefully they will form an exciting partnership this season. |  | | |

Apart from that haircut of his which acts as a big, soppy sponge when he heads the ball, I have to say that I do like the cut of his jib.
Get your hair cut, lad

It is early days but so far never worth £12 million. Looks unfit, is slow, and missed at least two good heading chances. We still need to sign another striker. |  | | |

When he first kept falling over I honestly thought he must have balance problems. |  | | |

When we play so heavier in the middle (and not on the outsides), he may slow down our counterattacks.
On the other hand,, he is strong and if he can pass too our fast "wings" like Routledge, Pablo etc, our counterattack can be lethal.
And think we need to get use to a player, who is not moving all the time, as all out players did last season. [Post edited 19 Aug 2013 17:56]

Yeah, a bit like Jason Scotland was slow, sluggish, lazy and (at his level) devastating.
Definitely not worth his place. | |

Think it's nice that we finally have someone who'll stick around in the attacking position though. Helps when the target man is in the position in which he'll be targeted.
He seems to be a great buy so far though. Holds the ball up fantastically well for my liking. | | | |

He's not looked unfit to me. he's definitely slow though. Yeah, he missed a good headed chance, but every striker will miss chances here and there. Chill man. | | | |

Obviously lacking match sharpness, which you'd expect given his interrupted pre-season. Otherwise he has a definite knack for being where he needs to be and plainly looks capable of 20+ goals per season. |  |

His touch can be poor at times and he doesn't look too sharp which may be a lack of match fitness.
He becomes a completely different animal in the penalty area though and has a knack of being in the right place at the right time and he can finish.
He's just what we've been missing so far in the Premier League. |  |
