He's looked good for about 20 seconds in the past 6 months, all of that 20 seconds was actually driving at goal, literally everything else he does is worthless. Running at goal with the ball, really the only strength he's had throughout his career.... consistently refuses to do it.

Bit harsh... The goals are worth something.

Would like to see him lead the line at man utd for a bit now.
 
Meh, he's scored a few though not that many in that time but few if any are goals basically any old striker of any quality couldn't have gotten. When he actually uses his pace and runs at or beyond the defence he brings something that not every striker can do to the team. Hence worthless otherwise because they are paying some ridiculous wage per week for really poor performances and mostly a few tap ins anyone else could get.


Something seriously wrong to be paying a player either 300k a week or if you randomly believe he's not on that much it's still north of 200k a week for sure, to have exceedingly rare moments where he offers something a much cheaper player couldn't.

At 16-20 the thing that made him stand out was those powerful runs, powerful shots, his driving force, his passing/interplay/holding up the ball wasn't a large or at all strong part of his game. Why he's focusing on the thing he can't do well rather than the thing he's maybe better than most at baffles me.
