That's laughable tbh, especially given the shift the last year your username put in for us but you will no doubt defend that to the death and say he was genuinely injured etc when we all know he wasn't as bad as made out, which is what you are insinuating here. He didn't do preseason, not fully or from the start anyway, as he still hadn't recovered from the thigh injury from the end of last season and according to Beale still had ongoing issues he was playing through once he came back in. He will 100% go the way of the original Ronaldo and Schneider as soon as he stops training, so not denying he's heavy after a layoff. He came back heavy, late into preseason, never got rid of it and it's not until Beale arrived that he now looks like his old self in flashes. Same, minus the weight issue, could be said for Kent and a few others. If you don't see a link there then that's more on you than anyone else. Do I see him here at the start of next season? No, thanks for the memories. Is he the best we have for the rest of this season? Yes. Simple as that really.
