Well, that's a fair comment.
Let's go step by step. His goal for this months were
1) Recovering from a long time without playing: Achieved. Plus, he did it pretty quickly.
2) Helping Real Sociedad to avoid relegation. Achieved. Not only that, he has embarrassed the local guys because here they always say to blame foreigners that they don't feel the shirt like the locals, and it has been a Chilean who has been the best example of commitment and hard work. He hasn't only helped Real Sociedad but also rised the interest of several clubs, which is nice for Liverpool (more valueable player).
But, and that's where I find your comment has sense, St Michael, now he has to win the place in Liverpool first squad.
Kewell is a good player, and he has more experience, so Gonzalez will have to win the place in the team. We shouldn't be expecting he scores 10 goals a season in his first season in Anfield. I've said several times that high expectations are the main reasons to have an Anfield Curse with some players... plus the language issue will require some adaptation, I'm afraid. I think we'll get his best in 2 years. For now, we have the left wing perfectly covered for next year, which is nice.
