He's an average 30 year old, who will take game time away from youth prospects. Metaphorically he is Kakuta's grave digger, and certainly doesn't offer anything other than squad bulk. He's not a strong work engine who works hard, he's a feeble anorexic 30 year old. He was a 'why not' 'let's give it a go' signing (so to speak). I remember Drogba was offended after he sung 'you'll never walk alone', and just to seal his undeserved arrogance, he demanded a first team number. Because unlike liverpool we don't have the history to turn down his demands.
