It's not hard to find a few positive quotes about someone. And he can't be that impact full or sought after by boro if they couldn't fit him in their wage structure despite having had him on the books.

If they can't fit him in their wage structure, how will we?

32 is definitely at the older end for a footballer, especially a winger.

Experienced head, affordable, 1 year deal. Can't really lose on this one.

Very decent in his younger days but for a winger at 31 he is definitely on the older side. It is another body in though so given where we are this is an ok signing.

Hopefully it works and wish him well, but not one I was keen on.

Wasn't keen on this at the start of the summer, but given our current situation he's a good signing.

In his past three seasons in the Championship, Hoilett has scored 9 in 46, 7 in 41, and 2 in 21.

Wingers can deteriorate rapidly at his age (McCleary a recent example for us) but hopefully we can help him find his best. We’ve got very few attacking options and I think this strengthens the squad. Beggars can’t be choosers.

He's going to be great for the likes of Azeez and Bristow. Even if his only major impact for us is teaching them a thing or two then it will be a good signing.

Happy with Hoilett. Should be match fit after playing all summer and won this division twice. Strengthens out wide which is needed.

Now a LB, and maybe another attacking option or two and that won't have been too bad considering.

Based on minutes, he had a goal/assist every 320 mins so 1 every 3.5 games, still not a bad contribution last year.

Just seen his photo on the OS, no way is he getting into that shirt he's holding.

Thanks, that’s a better stat.

Surprisingly, better figures than Ejaria… but also the same as Aluko. I don’t have xA figures but Ejaria made far more key passes, suggesting he was creating chances that weren’t converted. But 1 G/A every 3.5 games is fine without being spectacular, which is basically what we should be looking at in our circumstances.

Happy with this signing…a wide option, which we’ve needed for ages.

We need bodies & for where we’re going to be in the league this season, it’s about as good as we can hope for

Couldn’t they have picked a picture without a fly on the shirt?

A solid signing and he has bags of experience and he’ll be brilliant for the younger players. :D

I'm a fan - typical winger - fabulous when on his game but lousy when off - bit of a modern day Gilksey without the crosses in the Tilehurst End!

Bearing in mind our situation, a one year deal makes good sense I'd say....
