I really don't know mate. I'm inclined to be indulgent because he's a Scouser who clearly loves the club so much, but I must admit the last year or so has been a bit frustrating as he's been given specific tactical roles to learn on the pitch and, even though he's kept to his brief, the drying up of goals has made it hard to gauge his real progress and potential. I'm hoping this season he'll be sent back to a forward position and be given the license to show how this reconditioned version of him fares. He's always had the eye for a goal chance, he's always shown that hunger for the fight and he's always shown pretty good technique for a striker, so I really hope he progresses. Trying to be as impartial as possible I'd say he's probably destined for a role at somewhere like Bolton, but there's still an opportunity here. I just hope, after all of these experiments, they now say: you're a number 9, here's a run of games, show us what you can do. Because I think he still has a chance - albeit a small one - of challenging for the odd sub appearance for the first team) not now but if he keeps improving this season), and if he does well then, then who knows? Fingers crossed!
