Personally, considering his wages, transfer fee and his age I think he wouldn't be a cost effective move.
Rumours have his wages anywhere as high as £30k a week, I doubt it's quite that high, but still. We might be on a very healthy financial footing but those wages are not a trend we should be following if we want to be sustainable.
His age (he's 30 isn't he?) means he doesn't have long left as a top end striker, and while he might have the guile and experience a younger player would lack I'd personally like to see us going with players who have a chance of retaining their value.
No doubting he would be a good foil for Maynard, his record is pretty decent. But finance, age and even his abject loan spell at Reading last season would cause me to look elsewhere.
