Does anyone think there is a way back for him? I know we had problems with his attitude but he is a passionate player and a decent striker! Is it a case of what could have been before that fiasco in the first game of last season? I loved him prior to that, and personally agreed that he should have been above Jerome in the pecking order
I don't think there is any way back for him, though I do agree he was/is a really talented player and if (And there's the real problem) he could show humility in not being first choice he would be a very good alternative option off the bench. Bah!
Attitude aside, he doesn't fit Farkeball at all well. He lacks pace and likes to fashion shots from outside the box rather than timing runs into the box and playing with and off others. Nor does he have Rhodes' abilities as a 'fox in the box'. He also lacks their willingness to harass defenders when the ball is lost. Our best chance is to sell him to top up the transfer fund.
For me it is ability. Not necessarily ball skills but a lack of a killer instinct that Rhodes has and Pukki has in spades.
