This - this - is the reason he has improved beyond measure as a player.
The third or fourth goals against St Mirren or Hamilton in a 5 or 6 goal romp simply aren't as important or as crucial as the kind of goals he's chipped in with this year.
His goals have directly affected games against Midtylland, Legia Warsaw, Hearts and Porto. We were also a Tav blunder away from his goal winning us a point in Bern.
Once you align that with a much improved mindset (which makes a mockery of the idea that he had to play on the edge to play well), if a big team do come calling, it'll be because of the significance of his goals in games that matter. This is the measure by which clubs will be measuring him, and clearly have done in the past.
