Ricketts, ex-MyPa striker, signs with Poli

Tosaint Ricketts is a Canadian-born 23-year old striker, which our defenders know all too well after the double-leg against MyPa in the Europa League qualifiers this summer, when he scored 3 goals overall. His main skill is his terrible speed, which our defenders have already fallen prey to. He is among the fastest football players, but experts say he is more a sprinter than a footballer. What good he will bring to our team remains to be seen, as it is efficiency we are looking for. All in all, I feel it is a good transfer, even if it is not great. Speed is certainly what we lacked up front, and we were also in need of a different type of attacker next to the ones we already have.
