This is where I'm at.

He didn't start well, pretty much mirroring the team's loose play through the first ten or so games.

Since then though his underlying numbers are good, which you can see in eye test too as he doesn't give up much.

But he also doesn't create much, so why have that price tag. Hopefully he finds his offence.

He's not a sink hole though.
