he isnt my favorite player by any stretch of the imagination but its very very hard to criticise his attitude, he has twelve goals this year and thats not bad at all. Plus if you watch him during games he is a very very intelligent footballer, makes good runs and works very hard. I can understand why Rafa bought him and why he rates him. He might not be a natural predator in the box a la robbie and his heading could be a lot better but as a striker he always does exactly what a coach would want by making the right runs, laying off the ball well and always following up lost causes. He was a big factor in beating chelsea, even mourinho said that his centre backs werent able to cope with him.....so the initial post was a bit harsh in my opinion
