£20m?
Given he'll have 18 months left on his contract that's likely to be accepted. I think he is a good player, not convinced he'll ever be a great player.
I'd imagine we've have someone better for half the money lined up.
My lads first game was the promotion clincher against Coventry. He witnessed a full-house, four goals, a promotion and went on the pitch. At that point I assumed everything else would be an anti-climax for him. Now it looks like just the start.
It's good that we are not under pressure to rush him back. As others have noticed he gives 5 players who will provide each other serious competition for the front 3 positions.

Allen has screwed over the paragraph. Lord knows how bad his pictures will be!

Hull have looked decent and it will be interesting to see what happens if they go two up top. Currently the midfields are cancelling each other out, if they sacrifice one it should give us a few more opportunities.
Next goal wins for me.
I watched Antonio play for Reading reserves against us in 2009 which incidentally was Papa Waigo's first runout. He was the stand out performer.
It is a shame he didn't come to us permanently after that 09/10 season. Not saying he would have made it as a Prem player, but would have had a better shot.
