I'm not saying he wasn’t injured when we signed him, we all know he was.
You're making out we signed him on the cheap because he was injured which is not true.
He wasn't cheap on any measure, especially as he had played half a season in the Championship in his entire career.
The gamble we took was not "let's buy this injured guy cheap and maybe it'll work".
It was "this guy won't be injured for long and when he's fit he will score the goals to get us promoted. And lets chuck ten million quid at it". He would have easily have been one of the biggest transfer outlays of that summer.
