Never really understand the love in, didn’t score many when here and didn’t score that many for Eibar yet gets a lot of comments on here

Think it's because he showed he cared and although not prolific, was decent. Unlike Britt and co, he could at least play a bit and hold the ball up etc.

We've had a few strikers who are looked back on fondly with similar strike rates. Not always about how many they score: Job, Nemeth, Fjortoft, Deane, Nugent....

Would've walked into any Boro side of the last 3 years as he's actually capable of leading the line properly and bringing others into play. As opposed to just running around like a dog chasing cars for 90 mins.
 
He played in a ak team, his return was always going to be lower. He was in/out team, strikers rarely got a run. When you take the team tactics and rotation policy I thought his return was decent

he was my favourite player under karanka as well. poor mans berbatov with that goal vs Birmingham
 
I remember the almost goal in his first game from a very cleverly worked free kick on the edge of the box. What a dream debut that would have been!

He was a good player Kiké, led the line well, scored some important goals and for my money he should have started instead of Bamford in the Playoff final, we would at least have had 11 players on the pitch.
