I believe he has the potential to click. But he ain't clicking at Wolves. I'd like to see us sell abroad because he's a frightening opponent.I’d love him to stay but if we’ve offered to make him one of our highest earners and he still hasn’t signed, then there isn’t really much more we can do.
Have a feeling one of the big boys will be prepared to take a risk on him for £20-25m. When we were quoting £50-60m for him at the end of that second season, I can fully understand that for that price they’d rather go for someone who is more of a ‘sure bet’. But the potential upside for what would be a fairly minimal outlay could make him a pretty attractive proposition for someone in January.
But just thinking back to the Middlesbrough match on Good Friday, when he battered our right side all afternoon, there was still zero end product.
I remember gritting my teeth and tensing up every time he got the ball and ran past our whole team time and time again. But no end product.
