It's a pretty risk free, free wheel situation.
I'm not saying Yak doesn't have it, just saying that I don't believe what we've seen to date has tested it.

Well to be fair, he could have 14 goals by now and it would still be too small a sample size to draw many conclusions about him other than he's really good. Which we can conclude from his performances to date anyway.
