That is by far the most frustrating thing about him. He doesn't LOOK like a bad finisher. It isnt as if he routinely stumbles over or snatches at the ball. He just seems to manage to find a way to hit the post or allow the keeper to make a good save. And then sometimes he finishes like a God.
As I said earlier, this is his real problem. We don't need him to score 30 a season. We just need him to not miss 30 a season. But the rest of his game is so good that he gets into so many good scoring positions. And then finds a way to not score.
Pep knew tbf. He?s had an extended stay on account of injury but if we harbour an interest in helping the balance sheet, we?ll get shot before he limps off the field again.
Everton, Palace, West Ham would all be queueing. ?25-30m ?

I think we'd be lucky to get half that.

I suppose the other factor I?m overlooking is his huge wages. Most expensive player on the books ?
