Decent article on Sterling.

Sounds like he will fit right in with our strikers.

“Throughout his time in the Spurs youth teams Kaz would have weeks looking great but they have dry patches and fail to score or be as involved in games as he would like to be."

Hopefully he can attain a level of consistency that benefits us and him.

This the guy who is too injured to even train with us?

Realistically how many games will we get out of him?

That’s the one!
Hope is he is fit by end of this month, that leaves 10 matches in March and April.
Given the length of time the guy has been out realistically we’d be doing well if he plays half of those plus a few sub appearances, assuming he’s any good.
The point of the loan would seem to be two fold:
1) Furthering our relationship with Spurs as a decent place to send their youngsters to to get experience
2) From the article, sounds like he could be moving from Spurs in the summer, so we get an up close chance to assess the guy and both sides can decide if a more permanent arrangement makes any sense.

Overall, it ain’t a bad plan, although at first glance, signing an already injured player sounds ‘typical orient’.
Best of luck to him.

Signing an already injured player, in an area where we literally have 7 (if you count Alabi who could be recalled, and Dennis who's played there) strikers already and could have done with a creative midfielder if we were getting someone in. Nevermind he is injured.
