I try and be open minded about him because of his effort and a couple of important goals towards the end of last season that we will forever be grateful for but I made my mind up on him very early into last season and have not Changed it since, I just think hes absolutely shite, I dont see a single thing that he offers, I think even if we were still mid table in the Championship he would still be awful. He's thick as fuck as well when it comes to football intelligence, he gives away some ridiculously cheap free kicks. He'd be the first out the door in the summer if it was upto me.

So you’re still on the fence then?

Pretty much nailed it, for me.

I thought Friday was one of his better games and you can see the level of desire to do well, but he was still poor. Just lacks basic technique, too many heavy touches, poor weight on passes etc.

While I think some people's views are overly harsh, I still come to the same conclusion.

At the start of the season many of us were including him in the list of players that have improved. His work-rate and speed on counter attacks both helped Cash to settle without him overly exposed but also helped make us look more of a threat on the break. He was also really unlucky to have not scored in that run of games and could have had several.

The wide forward positions are going to be important to us as we evolve though. I can't see Trez or El Ghazi being integral players over future seasons. Hopefully their values have increased since they've been with us though and they can go for a profit and we can replace them with players who will be a step up.

His workrate can't be questioned, he just isn't a player that should be in a squad aiming for the top half of the league. Would he get anywhere near the first 11 of the teams in above us?

I think over the past decade, we’ve become accustomed to mercenaries who have trousered millions from this club for absolutely no return.

To see this guy charging up and down like a whirling dervish is still so refreshing to see.

But you’re right. He’s just not quite good enough. If he had 10 goals, 10 assists and worked like that, we’d be sat on a £75m player.

Still love his spirit though.

The fact that his "name" is a nickname...why is he allowed to use it or why can't every player choose their nickname for football if they so wish? Just dun't seem right, Tom.

Yes, we've had Kun Aguero and Chicharito in the Premier League to name two. Players have to get permission to use a nickname, which is usually granted if they'd used it abroad previously. They also take into account "personal matters" like Dele Alli's relationship with his parents if players want something different on, like their first name.

Teams can afford a Trezeguet in their side if they're surrounded by high functioning performers, sadly right now we've a few sub par performers and can't afford any more.

Can't fault his desire though.

Agree, Jon. Trez was ace at the beginning of the season when we played an highly effective pressing game. I wonder why we stopped? Now we back off like every opposition player is Messi.

I like Trezeguet a lot but I think he's much more effective when coming on for the last 20-25 minutes of games because of his evergy and willingness to track back.

I like Trezeguet, very often In the formation we play there are many times when he only has Ollie to pick out or sometimes he’s even the furthest forward and has to wait or try and go alone.

Will always score goals and effort is second to none.
