Hallelujah. An unbiased opinion.
Second half of his loan he was lazy, ineffective and petulant. Very much to type throughout his career.
Good news he doesn't join.
He was available - i.e. not injured - for perhaps 20 games (give or take) and was unavailable for one of the cup matches, given the opponent.
He scored 9.
He won more than one penalty.
He had a handful of assists.
Among a crowded field of other great performers, he was probably MotM more than once.
I don't recall any laziness or petulance. Can't you give us a better steer of when that arose?
Loading 9 goals and all the rest into half the matches only really undermines your basic argument about how effective he truly was.
In the win at The Hawthorns, right at the end of the season, possibly when he knew he wasn't staying anyway, he played in Antonio for a strike that determined the match.
He was brilliant when he was with us.
