Didn't want to come across bitter but, he's pretty fucking useless isn't he?
Granted I haven't read the Guardian reports or watched him closely on the highlights shows like you, but the two England matches just gone pretty much proved how shit he really is. He had a ton of shots yesterday against a League 1 level keeper and the only trouble he caused him was when he hit the post (missed the target) and the ball rebounded in off the back of the keeper.
He offers nothing to open play except being a target for Shelvey/Cahill long balls and even then he rarely links up with anyone around him.
I'm happy for him to prove me wrong, but I can't see how one purple patch of form last season has transformed him into the next big thing that everyone is hyping up.
