Let's state first I rate Alfie very highly the best striker by far in Scotland but he puts immense pressure on the team when he gets a yellow card in the first half hour and despite what some posters say most of his yellows going by the official rule book are justified . Does players like Messi , Ronaldo , Kane and the like get wee digs verbally and physically yes they do but they don't react they just get on with it . Alfie hopefully has used his time on the bench to watch and learn from the way Defoe reacts I've no doubt he has experienced every type of abuse from opposition players but just dusts himself down and gets his revenge by scoring.
Sitting watching important games and he gets booked early I'm sitting on edge for the rest of the game waiting on the next flashpoint.
So its not the straight reds in my view that's the issue its the volume of bookings for petulance that's the main problem .
I think if he had boxed clever and just scored goals there would be a huge amount of bids in from big clubs going by his scoring record something must be stopping these clubs and that can only be his petulance where he should be a £45 million value we would be lucky to get £20 million for him .
I hope he stays but he must learn to just walk away.
