One, if not our most important player. When he doesn't play, we just seem to lack any real sort of attacking threat.

Only thing that really gets on my nervous though, is his ability to convert chances...if he was a little more clinical he would be up there with the best in the world, don't get me wrong he is top class, but that inability to convert chances on a regular basis is whats stopping him from being a world class striker and player.
