Frustrating in as much as we probably won't be able to flog him now. I don't think he offers anywhere close to enough for his wage. Plus when he has played, even in his better games, our shape didn't look right. We seemed more like a 4-2-4. Okay that's down to Lambert not sacrificing one of Gab or Andy, but still, I can't see where he fits into Lamberts game plan in all honesty. He doesn't work hard enough to play one of the wide roles. Playing off the striker means fiddling with our system or sacrificing one of our CM players. We look far better when we play 3 in the mid, with Sylla, Delph and Westy.
He's one of our few sellable, and expendable assets. 5 mill for him and 50k a week saved on wages could have got to 2-3 Lambert specials. Looks as if we'll have to wait till Jan to flog him in all honesty, unless he's fit by late August. In which case he's that sort of player you could see going to somewhere like Hull, Fulham, West Ham etc on deadline day.
