So to those people saying he is good, a 20 goal per season striker, etc etc, I would ask the question, why doesn't he get played along side Torres up front?
My opinion is that would be a better tactic to score more goals and win more games.
Other clubs are well aware he is not in Rafa's plans, except as a sub, and fill in for non important fixtures. If the 15 million price tag scares people off, then he will be kept on, not be given a proper chance, and next season end up leaving for free when his contract runs out. Instead of getting 12-15 million for a player Rafa really has little time for, he ends up with nothing.
Saying to a player he has to compete with Torres for a place, hardly giving him any game time, then saying to other clubs he is worth 15 million seems to me to be a big contradiction. Either keep him and play him along side Torres, or sell him for 7-8 million, and get your money back.
