He might be Kevin Phillips, he might be Michael Ricketts. Had lots of chances and at 29, doesn't have time on his side. Not saying he's a bad signing given finances or even a bad player, but statistics and opinion can be skewed to show anything.

Don't think he was anywhere near ready for his Birmingham move & Leicester were dire at that time as a whole, you don't score 13 goals in the Premier league in a relegated side by being sh!t.
Absolute steal at £1.25m. We all agree we should be aiming higher but it was never gonna happen & I honestly believe he is one of the best finishers in the Prem.

Mikael Forsell, James Beattie, Michael Ricketts, Michael Bridges. All troubled the upper echelons of the scoring charts for one season in the sun. Which way will DJ fall?
Interested to know why he wasn't ready for his move to Birmingham Ric? Certainly wasn't too young and had a decent stint at Brentford beforehand and had the benefit of a pro apprenticeship before dropping back into non league.
Leeds were collapsing at great alacrity yet Viduka still managed over 10 goals that season and Leicester were nowhere near in such a state.. Not sure I buy the comparison there. You could argue that he never got a fair crack in the team after Allen got the boot but Pearson would have had a good look at everything in training and games before giving the boot.
Could be that he didn't perform and those managers didn't think he was good enough.
Don't want to decry the lad as he can probably do a job but the talk of some whooping it up like we've signed Aguero and Messi is a bit much. Back to the old condescending hashtag someone earlier posted to me #realism.Last edited by Guest; 03-08-2011, 04:00 PM.
