That’s why I don’t like statistics per minute for players that are unavailable a lot. You don’t play much because you sit on bench - then it makes sense to measure it like that. If you’re injured a lot, I would personally include every minute you’re not available for selection as minute without involvement in goal to have a better picture.

He played more minutes than Olise or Jota this season and got more starts too. He started 18 games… with a great output.

I agree that his fitness has been an issue though and if we can get over £50m then we should take it. But he’s been a very good goal scorer for us this season on the pitch. People who say he’s not a good player are not correct.

I am not comparing him to anyone. Just saying him being 8th contributor per minute in PL gives false sense to me. He missed 10 full games - so his stats should be adjusted to accommodate that. We need to play games even when he is out. He sort his fitness - cool, I see future for him there. Otherwise it’s a problem with that expensive part timer even if he contribute good when on the pitch.

We agree.

He’d be the perfect striker to have if Lankshear or Veliz were a little further along in their development. They’d get plenty of minutes without the pressure of being first choice number 9.

It’s not the games he misses though major injuries that concern, it’s the constant grimacing and erratic struggle through games when he plays. If he’s not 100%, he’s not good enough and that’s been 90% of the games we’ve played whilst he’s been on the books. Sell

Thats surely a squad issue. Not having adequate backup. If hes not 100pc hows he gonna play 100pc?

We never have a squad that has cover and solid 2nd string in every position. Whenever we have, we usually have a good season.

I like to think that Donna and Daniel do the little leg kick together whenever another bargain is snapped up
