Experience is one thing, scoring goals is another, he hasn't been the most prolific scorer of goals in his fledgling career, just because he's been around different leagues doesn't mean he'd fare any better than an equivalent age championship or league one striker...
I'd assume part of the reason for his availability and the low transfer fee is done to the fact he hasn't lived upto expectations, and hasn't scored as many goals as he possibly could have.
Don't get me wrong I'd love for him to do well, but there's a reason for his transfer to stoke, if he'd lived upto expectations teams above stokes standing would have been in for him.
