I think he's just been told he wouldn't be a starter mate and he threw his toys out of the pram a bit.
That being said he has also been injured a lot.
But he's too safe.
I was one of his biggest defenders on here as I always thought if he just added 'more' to his game he'd be the perfect all-rounder.
Ultimately he has shown in the games he's played this season he can't do that, and I'd rather move him on if he doesn't want to be here.
Fair play for saying so mate
He was never as good as a lot rated him as during that first season (myself a smuch as anyone), problem we always have is thinking we can 'fix' someone, IF mccarthy can add 'more' to his game, If del can just add fitness and physicality to his game, IF rom can add a first touch and start using his size to bully defenders, If Ross can learn to be confident and get over the fact his leg wont break if he ever attempts a tackle.
Sometimes it's about just realising they are what they are and either their good enough with those missing elements to there game - or they can fit into the system with complimentary players around, or alternatively they just arent good enough, and sometimes what we see as a flaw in a player may be flaws in the players around them making us think that - i believe Ross (lack of intelligence and not being quick enough on the ball is that - think it's actually no movement and no options for him most of the time, but the label is on Ross and it will stick for a long time)
McCarthy and sadly Del - neither are good enough, Lukaku plainly is but needs the right system and players around him, and Ross is on the fence and could go either way (although i know that in the right setup he'd look a world beater)
