Trying to claim that JCR isn't really as good as people are trying to make out, that he's big headed, that he's been out of form for most of the season, that he doesn't know how to cross or pass, that he doesn't score enough goals, that most of his goals this season don't count as most have been penalties, that they really never rated him anyway, that we'll actually be better off without him? Personally, I think he's a great and very important player for us and I believe would be a huge loss if he were to leave, making it exceptionally difficult to replace him.
You forgot that his goal at home to Burnley and goal away at Burnley were both deflections and given to him, so he's actually only scored three this season not five.....
The more he's played for us the more he's impressed me. I wasn't that bothered when he arrived. I thought he took too many players on and had no end product. But his game has improved immeasurably since arriving. He now scores goals and creates goals and his work rate is phenomenal. He's been an excellent player for us and I think he'd leave a massive gap in the team. Particularly as the rest of the midfield haven't got a goal in them.
