Looks like he's a big thing. Able to hold the ball up and links play pretty well.

1 in 4 last season, although it seems like quite a few of them were off the bench.

Yea, number of games doesn’t matter, just per 90m. All told looks like he scored 12 in about 16 games worth of time across all their competitions. Very good. Previous season it was 14 in about 24 games worth. Which begs the question, at 26 and with a good goal record, why has he not played more?

Looks huge but a bit raw also his injury record is a bit concerning 

Is his injury record that bad?  - in last 4 seasons has had a single ankle injury that kept him out for a single stint of 10 games.  

Seemed to have a few muscle problems when he was younger 2016-18, but would say that's in the past.

Because he's not their first choice striker, Gaetan Laborde is. Rennes supporters fancy the chance of selling him to Everton and bringing someone better in. They think he lacks technical ability and that he doesn't suite Rennes fast paced football. That's pretty much a consensus on their forums.

Thanks. It’s odd though given that he’s scored 26 goals in something like 41 games of time over the last couple of seasons. That they have multiple strikers they prefer over a player with that sort of return is a bit unusual.

That's true, but it's not as simple as converting minutes to full matches. Oumar Niasse would have 9 goals in just a little over 16 games for us, which is even greater return. If nothing else, that makes Guirassy a prolific bench striker, but there are doubts he's good enough for a regular starter.

Perhaps not but when he was regularly only get 10 or 20 minutes at the end of a match it’s still better to judge per 90. 
 

He may simply not be good enough to start for them as you suggest.

It's saying loan with option to buy

Makes sense financially and otherwise. With so much business done this window you can see us not needing to do that much over the next couple. If this guy isn’t it then we cut bait without much damage and can focus our funds on our attack. 
 

it’s going to be a real important season for Gray, Gordon, DCL. Perhaps McNeil as well. They need to establish themselves as first choice or else they are going to end up being rotational players.

Yes, we desperately need a striker...

AND, I worry about putting so much pressure on someone who has only ever played in the French league (with a few years in Germany.)

Whoever comes in is going to know a) we are in a dire need for production up top which carries a lot of pressure and b) they will be back-up once DCL is fit again.

Agree it's why we need two forwards
