Why do it in January?
So we get half a season out of a goalscoring forward, rather than relying on an apparently injured Pelle, a crocked J-Rod and $hLong. And so possibly push back into and stay in the top 10. Plus it gives him plenty of time to settle, get used to the team and so start next season firing on all cylinders.
And lets get Chambers too......immediate competition for RB, and perhaps the long term replacement for Fonte.
C'mon Big Kat: chequebook time!
