He’s 22, plenty of room for improvement.
If you can get 12 goals off the bat whilst moulding him into a better striker for years to come, then, yes.
Or he reverts to his mean and never gets near 12 again because we play totally differently to Ipswich, and when Ipswich did play with more control he hardly scored despite being in the champ.
I think there's better talents out there. I think he's got some tools but I don't think he's all that.

Haha, I mean that'd be amazing... But no, I just want the back up to be able to come on and impact a game immediately. We've seen with Dom that the moment he comes on he's winning flick one and holding the ball up. He needs to up his goal involvements there's no denying that, but I'd feel a lot more comfortable seeing him come on after 70 mins than the other option.
Seems to be the summer talking point regardless.. lets hope we sign someone so shit hot up front, who can run all day, all this becomes redundant.
Whoever it is, please please please do not sign anyone with even a sniff of an injury concern. DCL and Ferguson before him, we wasted 5 years on each. "No need to buy a new striker, if we can just get the big man fit.. he'll be like a new signing" none of that bollocks, coz they never are, are they.
Shocking goal keeping but good strike and it only went in because he hit it early and before the keeper had set himself, so credit for him taking it on.
Would still comfortably sell for the right price, awful footballer.
If he stays next season I'm thinking he depresses more than he pleases.
Having said that, providing he's last resort and we sign a much better striker in the summer I wouldn't be THAT against keeping him as I can't argue he gets goals like.
