There have also been stories the past year or so about his attitude in the dressing room, and his attitude on the field when he throws a tantrum every time someone does something he thinks was wrong doesn't help as well
He is the 4th choice striker on the team, and with regards to current form/talent that is where he should be. If people still thought he was good enough he would have been picked up in August by a team needing a striker for the 8m or so Levy wanted for him |
Please provide links to these stories, I know you won't be able to because the last part of what you wrote is total BS. Attitude in the dressing room? Provide one link. Throws a tantrum? Provide one link. 8m that Levy wanted for him? Provide one link. He was heavily linked with a move to Turkey but 'arry came out in the press and said that he needed a fourth striker for the Champions League campaign and wouldn't let him go. He's not worth eight million, he's a 30 year old striker who has no confidence. To top it off, he's on massive money thanks to the Liverpool board of directors and no team would be willing to pay him 80k a week. 'arry should give him an extended run for a few games in a row, because what he needs is confidence.
Frank Lampard is the only active player ahead of him on the Premiership scoring chart. 130 for Lamps, 121 for Keane.
