I don't think i've ever heard the 'they all want to play in Europe' argument before this summer but people now just seem to to repeat it ad infinitum as if it's an obvious fact, it's quite weird.
It's a fair point I think. 7 non-penalty goal involvements isn't a lot really, he's a player with a lot of ability and we need to find a way to get more quantifiable contributions from him.
The reports seem to suggest that the club weren't expecting him to be so raw though, which is obviously a slightly different (and far more concerning) issue. Us watching him and thinking he looks a bit raw is one thing, the club spending a load...
