Strange one isn't he?
That goal against Millwall in the cup, i thought "wow he has the ability to do that". Plus the 5/6 assists that he got in the first half of the season.
I didn't rate him at all, based on the evidence of the 19/20 season. But i thought i would have to reevaluate my thinking around him.
However, second half of the season (like everyone else), his overall performances were not of the same standard.
His two league goals consist of 2 x chasing down the keeper, and the ball coming off his ass. He's not a natural goalscorer, in the way that Conway and Britton have demonstrated for the under 23s, and first team.
In that case, what sort of player is he?
In the current climate £4-5m affords us the capability to get 3/4 other players in to help with the rebuild.
I have no problem with him going for that figure. But a lot will depend on how we replace him.
That will be the indication of whether we've learned from our previous mistakes; and that the new processes/talent id process is working in the way we hope it will.
