I can't see where he'd fit in the starting 11.
When entire squad is fit, healthy and in form I agree, he wouldn't get in ahead of most.
But we're 90 mins into the season and already have an injury crisis which highlights the importance of having 16/17 top class players with good players in the wings.
We seem to have 9/10 top class players and on our day we can beat most teams, but take one or two away from that team and we begin to look light, just like we do now...
