Not sure whose spot he takes, but he was in the team at the end of the year so I guess someone needs to actually take his spot at this stage.So how about you tell me who's spot he is taking up forward ?
Mismanaged ,,,, its not mismanagement that he cant find the ball, that's his issue
One thing I do know is that he can be a point of difference. And I totally agree with you that he needs to find more of the ball but if he does I think he can be a very good player for us.
Look at a guy like Tom Sparrow from Melbourne as a reference point. Such a good player for them this year.
