I still cannot believe people are silly enough to quote things like this. Those 24 appearances and the minutes he got in them:
78, 71, 70, 68, 64, 52, 35, 29, 25, 23, 23, 23, 20, 20, 19, 17, 15, 12, 8, 4, 3, 1, 1, 1
That's 682 minutes. Not even seven and a half games worth of playing time. Sure, the goals/90 (i.e. the metric anyone sensible uses) are still not great, but not once has he been given a full 90, not once has he been given consecutive starts. How exactly do you propose that someone is able to develop any sort of chemistry with the rest of the team and any sort of goalscoring rhythm if he's never given the chance to?
