The Swansea City vice captain believes that signing flair players like Sinclair can ease the pressure on the defence and the need to keep clean sheets constantly.
Swansea's success last season was largely down to the defence and a record number of clean sheets as their lack of goals cost them dear.
But after completing the capture of Sinclair this week, the Swans are hoping to solve that goalscoring problem starting on Saturday at home to Preston.
Speaking to the Evening Post, Tate said "We welcome players who can come and score goals and create goals
"The fans don't want to see defenders defending all the time — they pay their money and they want to see attacking football. And as players we want to see it as well.
"If we are getting a few goals, it makes life easier for people like me because we don't have to keep clean sheets all the time!
"I haven't seen a lot of Scott, but I have heard a lot about him and it's all been good," he added.
"There's going to be pressure on him with the price tag because I don't think we've ever paid that sort of money for anyone.
"But hopefully that won't affect him, and I don't think it will because he seems a level-headed lad.
"Hopefully he can do well for us and score a few goals.
"It was good to get the first win against Barnet, but hopefully we can follow that up on Saturday because the league is our bread and butter," he said.
"Three goals and a clean sheet were good in the cup, even if it wasn't our most convincing display defensively.
"Now we want the first league win because that always settles everyone down.
"Hopefully that will come against Preston, although they are a very good team."
