I know virtually nothing about him . Do you think he’s a good signing?

Got one in two at York last season so not as green as some of our previous work experience loanees. Hopefully has more of an impact than your Wareham's or Abraham's did.

Same as both of above, we'll see tomorrow I imagine. Has a pretty low bar to be more effective than the current attacking options so fingers crossed he makes a difference

On the positive, it’s a signing and a forward 🤷‍♀️🤞🙊

This and -- If he gets more goals than Kelman did last season, that'll do me.

If he doesn’t we could be in a spot of trouble. Fingers crossed Shaq can make a difference. To be honest though, I think I’m more concerned about our defence.

I am not impressed with this signing, but I am happy to be proven wrong.

Agree that its a bit underwhelming but time will tell and hopefully we also bring someone else in.

If he can inject some pace into our attack it might just do the trick. We’ll have to wait and see.

People said El-Miz was underwhelming when we first signed him but look now . He’s probably the first name on our team sheet . Shaq could prove to be a very good signing .

Looks pacy and with an eye for goal from the Instagram video.

Could be an excellent addition.

I'm not sure who some people were thinking we'd get. A certain Spurs forward has been mentioned but he spent a season learning at a club that just pasted us 4-0 - so Spurs will be looking for him to go higher than Pompey. That ain't us.

What we need now is another first choice keeper before the transfer window closes. That’s of course Sol isn’t coming back. I wonder if we know yet exactly how bad his injury is ?

Good goal-scoring record in the NL - I have a good feeling about this signing!
Hope we see him at WW tomorrow...

I had a good feeling when we signed Jayden Wareham (Chelsea), Tyrese Omotoye (Norwich City) and Kazaiah Sterling (Tottenham).

Seems like he has pace which we are severely lacking. Even if he doesn’t score loads, pace opens up space for other players. Piggot desperately needs someone pulling defenders away from him
