Well he hadn't done much before last season and even last season all he was really good for was bringing down the ball and usually losing it to his first touch. He was a bit frustrating to watch as he never had much creativity.
But as he got a year older he refined his skills and is now able to control the ball after bringing it down and actually get some shots on goal. He's also proficient at scoring headers from set pieces. He is a strong player and fun to watch, though he does whine to the ref a fair bit.
I'm not sure how you all will feel about him to be honest. He has a lot to live up to with a fee like that. He does have a ton of potential but who knows if he has his head on straight enough to deal with it all (and, as you said, stay out of trouble).
Even though we made more money off him then we probably ever could have in the future it is disappointing to see him go. He is local, he's got skill, wore the 9...and with him leaving it just shows the management's lack of ambition. Hopefully Ashley will F off after he has recouped some of the money he's lost.
