I’ll never understand @Bianconero81’s obsession with this guy. He had the potential to be one of the best of his generation but that’s just it. The potential.
He’s not a Baggio, he’s not a Romário, not a Batistuta, not even a Crespo. Why the fanboysm when he isn’t that great?!
Because everyone else shits on him (and it's warranted most of the time). It's tiresome. The guy is away on international duty, but here we are, talking trash and belittling him, even when he isn't playing.
I am well aware that he has failed to realize his potential, live up to expectations, but let's look around and see which other footballers, in this current generation, are a Romario, Baggio, Batistuta or Crespo? We have Haaland and Mbappe (even the ugly fucker has hissy fits) who could be up there for years, and that's pretty much it.
Other strikers? Maybe Salah. Perhaps Mane. De Bruyne definitely. Then you have the Coutinhos, Bales, Rodriguezes and the list goes on.
Every other player is good for 2-3 seasons max, and then they descend into obscurity.

At this stage I’d be happy if he goes for free. We are clearly at a rebuilding stage and the new crop of players we want to bring through don’t have much to learn from this guy who wears the armband when he’s fit and would be the highest paid player if he stayed.
Great idea. Then we're left with Kean, Kaio Jorge and Morata. That attack isn't even Europa League level.

Stop being so defensive about this pussyfag. He’s got all the talent but doesn’t have any of the mental strength required to be a top player. And he needs to sort that out. It doesn’t make sense you get so butthurt over every little criticism.
Am I really being defensive? I was just highlighting that the information might be inaccurate, perhaps non-factual. You need to take those anal beads out of your bunghole Bro. I still love you though
Anyway, I do agree he has been incredibly underwhelming, but letting him walk for free when we have major issues to address is not savvy business practice. We can all agree that the fucking cunt Tootsie is to blame for giving players insane contracts and causing this mess we are in.
