Should have sold him when he was valued at £15m (if he ever really was). Looks like we are not the only club that doesn't play to his strengths. Never rated him and he has scored just 36 goals since turning pro almost 10 years ago to the day. Plenty of fans on this forum blamed our style of play not suiting him. Looks to me as if he has yet to find a club that plays the right sort of football to suit him. It could be that the problem is with him rather than the clubs.

sorry mate but you keep measuring by goals, there is more to it.. we Cardiff City looked far more threatening with him than without him.. and won more games which nobody seems remotely interested in when it comes to talking about forwards...

Not just goals, although to me that should be well up there for your main striker. I also thought he was useless in the air which is also a weakness for your main target man, but my biggest gripe was that I also thought he was lazy. It was this lack of effort that made me criticise him a lot, and that is not something I have ever done with any other City player as far as I can remember. He appeared disinterested at times, but that's just my opinion, and I know I have always been in the minority where Zohore is concerned. I would be surprised if we hear much of him in the future, certainly not in this country anyway. Now I've said that he will probably be the top scorer in the PL next season.

he is never going to be a top scorer anywhere mate.. but as for the goalscoring it really depends on how you set up and what the manager wants out of any player. Ken caused defenders concern, actually brought players into the game and dragged the opposition all over the place.. but did look disinterested at times and always gave the impression there was more to come . truth be told if he had all what people wanted he wouldn't have been playing 2nd tier in the first place as he has most of the attributes required to be prem..im not saying i wouldn't like a top goal scorer but its not the bee all, when we have had one we tend to be bottom half..

Big Ken did score in injury time but again seems fourth choice striker so 8m was a great deal for us!

personally id have preferred him here and not bought glatzel and vassell..
as for Pelts I think its pretty clear he would have been released by us this coming window. but also thought it was too big a leap of faith by Harris trusting Jazz to be available for 18 consecutive games.{ something he has yet to do in his career } but the Sanderson loan seems to have come to our rescue..
