Injured
Nailed on that he departs in January.
The most baffling statement of the season;Manager Grant McCann said: “We’re really delighted to get this one over the line. It’s not been easy because there has been so much interest in him.
Signing a 28 year old who’s barely ever played up top on his own to play that role was weird.It’s like Grant and the recruitment team got tunnel vision over pace and forgot about the footballing bits.
TBF he has got quick feet - it's just unfortunate that they're on the wrong legs...
He looked very good in his YouTube videos...

Injured has never been more 'code' for the truth. Awful signing, we wont see him again.
Hasn’t Grant got the final say?
My understanding is Grant has the final say on pretty much everything on the football side. Certainly recruitment is one area where he decides what's what, and I'm pretty sure he rates his own opinion over what the underlying numbers might be telling him. So, whilst the analysts might be telling him one thing, he may not always go along with it.
Been a tough few months for the lad.
I've got this niggling feeling that he stays longer than January, just down to how this loan was described compared to all the others. Could be wrong, although I do think it takes a while for players to understand their roles in a McCann squad.
