completely, totally, unbelievably OVERRATED !!! plays for a mediocre club whereas our top competition all have strikers playing for big clubs and why ?? because those strikers are good! scored adimtadely an amazing goal against Argentina in a game we finally lost 10 years ago !!!
isn´t the player he was-he still has some pace but not as explosive as it once was. is not technically gifted at all and most of the time the ball gets stuck under his feet. small but for some reason good in the air when the ball is at the right height and he´s against the right defender !
All in all- we are going to continue to be the same England-not taking chances with no real threat up front and it´s such a shame that nobody (including commentators and press) sees him for what he is - a player who has peaked.
