Welcome!
Probably about as ‘marquee’ as it gets for us, plenty of experience and a full international too!

Oh!
That's a bloody good bloody signing. Really happy with that.
Football!

He's 25 and not been injured for the last three seasons either, unbelievable.
Delighted with this one!

Not the highest scoring forward in the world, but has played plenty over three seasons (including two in the Championship), and is very much of an age to crack on. Fingers crossed.

64 appearances at Championship level across the last two seasons, with 12 goals (1-6 goals/games not terrible)
On paper this looks a great signing. Knowing our luck, now guaranteed to get a career ender before pre-season is out.

Hopefully going to be learning all about our last NI international striker, Lee McEvilly
Looks shrewd.

I imagine this is the Blackpool version of when Lankester moved on from us, from the 'probably needs to kick on elsewhere' scenario. No doubt has the ability given his really good season in the championship and clearly wants to be with us having been a Monk target, so a very positive deal all round. Glad it is a two year contract too.

Very, very pleased with that. Good player at a good age who probably needs to be the main man somewhere with slightly lower expectations than a team like Blackpool, and we're a very good fit for that.

Also interesting to hear he signed before pre-season started, so presumably there's a couple more in the same boat.

We've not had an 'in-behind' striker that's a good age, not injured and has some pedigree in a very long time.
Think he'll do really well for us. Good stuff.

Decent signing. Good age and doesn’t seem to get injured. Seems like a hard working hard press player.
