He can be vastly improved by having a manager who has half a 'kin clue what he's doing.
I like the lad Dave, and I love a good old school challenge, But being realistic I need to see more in a player. well atleast the signs that those areas can be Improved, but I don't think the parts he is missing can be taught.
Put him as a 6 and his relapses will give you an aneurysm
Put him as an 8 and he just hasn't got the alround game for it
Put him as a 10 and his technical deficiencies will be glowing.
To me, what you see now is what you get.
I can only go with what I see in the player though, and would always prefer to be wrong than right when it comes to us.
One thing I am certain of though is he will never score a goal on purpose..
