the majority on here - yes the majority - wrote him off after just 5 or 6 games, I remember it well.

He was never taken to in the way Duncan was - Advert or photoshoot appears whilst he's injured ! FUMING LAD !

etc

I'd keep him, but not on silly money
his fitness and sharpness hasnt been there, although his presence made a difference at times even when he hasnt scored


I think he's good, certainly good enough for us at the moment. But most of our fans have long since checked out on him, some because he's missed chances, some because he did photoshoots, some because he didnt play on with a fractured cheekbone - BOOOOO !


We loved duncan and forgave him his injuries and sendings off, even if they sometimes conveniently landed around xmas or in time for the races. DCL just never had that really, and the past couple of seasons have seen him get a lot of toxic abuse too.

Do I think he's worth 150k pw or whatever
Nope
But he has been an important player for us over the past decade.

Lets hope Beto's form under Moyes continues and doesnt turn into Jelavic second season syndrome next season.
