Seems to be a lot of mixed reviews on Tade, seems to be taking a slating over on P&B, what i can gather is Tade is a strong, powerful, athletic target man who can also play out wide. Causes defenders problems with his strength and pace and while he can score some good goals he is prone to some Djebi-Zadi moments and miss the odd sitter or two in a game. Certainly not the finished article but more of a raw talent needing a fair bit of polishing.
Whilst he may not appeal to some fans and indeed some 'ICT' fans on other sites have written him off already, i'm more than willing to give him a fair crack of the whip and will support him fully. What i like to do when assessing new signings is compare him to what we had in the previous seasons. Do i think he will be more of a threat than Odhiambo? Probably. Do i think he will be more of a threat than Sanchez? Certainly less skillful but will cause a lot more problems with his strength and direct running.
I think he will be a useful addition to the team. If the worst happens and we lose Rooney, i certainly dont think Butcher will use Tade as a direct replacement
