But he was in his early 20s in those Championship seasons and going into L1 at 22. Riis is 28 with a Championship goals per game that is close to (I think probably slightly worse but I haven't bothered working it out) than Fryatt's post-L1.
Probably a good idea to have someone with some experience of English football as an option in case Bristric winds up being a dud. But if we do, I think it's reasonable for people to be uncomfortable with us paying a fee for another late 20s player with a shaky Championship record and little chance of any profit.
