Based on pre season highlights and the Coventry game. And the fact he admitted himself he's not a natural finisher and needs to work on this part of his game.
He looks a good player, would definitely drop him back into the No 10 role and think he could flourish.
But won't expect him to be the new goalscoring threat. Other aspects of his game will compensate hopefully.

So based on one Championship appearance, where he had one chance, you’ve concluded his finishing is appalling?

How many goals do you think he will score?
5 at the most?

You'll probably find composure is one of the biggest attributes of being a good finisher.

Only saw the second half at the weekend and his run from deep was decent. Silvera missed his chance then seemed to disappear for long spells.

And - as you have selectively chosen to ignore - pre season games. Watch the highlights. Have a look at the chances he misses. The fella is not a natural finisher. At all. He even admits it. He's an emergency CF who is not comfortable in that position.
Hope he proves me wrong and hits double figures
I know he cost a bit more, but I quite like the look of Haji Wright from the bits I’ve seen for Coventry. Decent scoring record in Turkey the last two seasons. Think Latte Lath is a gamble if he is coming in as our main striker. Hope I’m proven wrong and he surprises me.

after 16 goals in 34 games for them your mate's a pretty hard taskmaster Lemmy, what does he want, an Akpomesque scoring rate???

ahh, sorry but the lack of anything to indicate it was meant as a joke made me naturally think it was another example of one of our chicken licken fans accentuating the negative, and writing a player off before he sets foot on the hallowed turf. Forgive my inability to tell when somebody is joking without anything to indicate said joke (having said that I'm laughing me head off now it's been pointed out that it's meant as a joke, honest mister).

It's just that whenever we sign someone or are interested in a player, someone nearly always comes up with " my mate's a..... fan etc and he said". I think the first time I noticed it was when we signed Cyrus Christie.
Childishly I now do it out of habit.

Yeah, sorry I thought you were that person this time., I also get sick of that bluddy negativity all the time.It's just that whenever we sign someone or are interested in a player, someone nearly always comes up with " my mate's a..... fan etc and he said".

I should get out more...in fact I'm going out now to get a curry for me dinner. (unless your mate's mate reckons it's not good enough that is)

My mate is Indian and he said curry is great, a bit biased but pretty trustworthy as a sauce, go you ahead fine sir!
