If you think about it he's the fourth best no.9 at the club.

For a while now I've thought he should be a squad player, but now I'm not even sure he's even that.

The slavish adoration for a completely-shot Ronaldo who couldn't wait to be out of the club not just once but twice while taking the £^$$! in ETH's first pre season on 500 grand a week ("I am a slave": ironic) compared to the time a local lad who does tons for the community suffers is more than a bit stomach curdling.

Needs a CF to play off then the final pieces fall into place.
