My disappointment with this transfer is nothing to do with the fee or the fact that he isnt a massive name if we have signed biton i would have been chuffed i just cant see where he fits. But would love him to prove me wrong.
He 'fits' for those games where we desperately need to get 'round the back' of teams who are putting 11 men, the bench and the youth team behind the ball. You may recall we had several such occasions last season where we simply couldn't overcome that.
Sinclair is lightening fast and a good dribbler, better at beating full backs than AJ. He also chips in with a fair few goals. His crosses will be great for Dzeko if he stays.
Not a 'bomb' signing but an extremely savvy acquisition in my opinion. Totally fulfils the 'we need width' criteria so many of us bemoan.
Clearly wont be 'starter' but will be an extra strategy with 20 mins to go against tired legs.
