He is not a finisher. Just a scorer of an occasional great goal.
He just doesn't have that instinct,
But I think it was c0ys who suggested this week he be tried out at right back and I think that a good call.
He has the workrate and power to do well there.

If he is insisting on staying as a forward then we can do better. In fact we have to do better if kane and bale are off.
Or possibly a wing back he's quite fast and has the build

Lets face it, he is crap. That bald egg Steve Hitchen has a lot to answer for

Was a major part of our pre Xmas rise to the summit with his industry out wide, but Jose chucked him under the bus after Anfileld and his confidence unwound- young player, new country, Covid

Agree he can be a big part of the squad next season if he gets off to a productive start

Soyuncu is pretty rapid mate:

Certainly for a CB but those top speed stats are misleading (I'm sure previously they have stated Eric Dier is our fastest player even when we had Walker!).

He is not slow. Sure under Poch (?) fitness regime will get the best out of him #Hope
He isn´t slow, but he´s very far from being the speed merchant he was reported to be when we signed him. Have yet to see him outrun any defender in the PL.

If I recall correctly, we paid £27m for him, and I really don’t see us taking a hit on him at this stage.

Far more likely we ship out Lamela and Lucas who are declining in value.

Letting Bergwijn go at this stage would be a big mistake IMO. There’s a really good player in there.

We would be mad to sell him! Sell Coco & Lucas, before selling Stevie.

Definitely a lot more I'd sell before Bergwijn, I just wonder how happy he is at the club, could all change with the right manager.

Thought we started to see some of what he has to offer on show nabbing a goal against Villa and getting into goal scoring positions. he is well down my list of players that need to be moved on and upgraded.
