Was he ever any good?

Hes periodically had good seasons but hes never been all around "good" IMO. His game is very streaky and when things are going for him he bundles past defenders and gets those little bits of luck. When hes on form he hits the ball without thinking and it flies in. When hes off form hes one of those players who makes it hard for the team. Loses the ball too much and for silly reasons, runs into players constantly and fluffs simple things.

He would be fine if he wasn't on absolutely silly money. You would have him as part of the squad and he would be a useful asset. As it is though, he is paid too much, thinks too much of himself and sulks when things aren't going his way or he needs to show some fight/backbone.

19/20, 20/21 and 22/23 he scored 20+ goals in the season and 30 in 22/23. He had a decent spell over 4 years.

He has the ability but he comes across as a player where the lifestyle gets in the way.

Don't think he has the ability, decision making and general football iq is really lacking can't see it improving soon to be 27

The seasons he was decent was it mostly on the counter attack with space ? With it being more direct less thinking even that now is gone

This is on ten hag now if he keeps picking him when have better options on the bench

Pretty much this - he's the ultimate form player.

He's never going to change...

His finishing was actually really good that season. Go watch it back but like so many have said he is such a hot and cold player so it doesn't come naturally to him.
