He knows his own body but he knows he needs to do some work.[LNB]"I don't know if he'll play this month. We've got to be conservative with a player who hasn't played for quite a while. You can't just stick him into a game because there are different stresses and strains.[LNB]"He's got a good pedigree in France and Ivory Coast. He is a handful. You need more than three strikers in the Premier League and we've now got five."[LNB]
