I wish him good luck but this signing reeks of desperation.

It is if he puts the ball in the back of the net who cares?

I don't expect many goals. I rate Duke more than him and he hasn't set the world on fire recently.

Hope I'm wrong.

[WHACKO]

We still have the same players that have to get the ball to him...that's my worry.

[Davo]

I'm willing to give him a chance and in the immortal words of Ryan Griffiths judge him on the pitch.

Hopefully if he can make us more dangerous up front Robbo can adjust the shape to make us more defensively secure. Or it'll be a like for like swap with what we already have as Robbo just throws everything at the wall to see what sticks. Hoping for the former, would not be surprised by the latter.

I tried to express all of the comments above but it just kept coming out like **** **** **** **** **** ******* **** for ****s sake. Well done everyone.

So we signed him because the location suits him and his work for Optus Sports?  That’s how I see it anyway.

Someone should remind Robinson what happened when the club signed a 37 year old German striker almost 2 years ago.

Sadly, They didn't last long.

This signing got shredded by everyone. Sounded like none of our fans wanted him. 

Days later he scores the winner on debut in the Sydney Derby...

A goal 4 years in the making.

hopefully he continues it. He's a winner and can do it on the big stage. And did it at Brisbane - his goal scoring rate was good. Not a good comparison with Meier.

The true test is whether he can do it consistently. I certainly hope so.

This post hasn't aged as well as he has

Meier scored a goal in his second game too.

*sighs* 

Sometimes I really need to shut up...this is how I feel right now:





Serious though, if he is consistently scoring, I'll start calling him Scotan McDonhimovic.

Looks to be the head coach for Gold Coast Knights.
