You're right and wrong. I was indeed convinced he was a shit signing at the outset, and in my defence he then spent four months proving me right. He was a waste of wages and a squad place most of that time. However, he has definitely proved his worth over the past few weeks, no question. I am happy to say this is the case, and would give him a one year extension on the strength of it.
What I object to are all these arse lickers calling him quality and acting as if they were right all along as if he wasn't rubbish for the first half of the season. I talk about short memories because those same people are calling for Maupay to be shipped out when for the half season Welbeck was pony, it was HE who was the only goal threat we had.
For what it's worth, I think we need a new striker. Connolly needs to go out on loan because he has simply been dreadful all season but is young and could yet come good if he does his time in the lower leagues. A N Other, Maupay and Welbeck then fight for two places because it is not plausible to bin off two of our three strikers.
