Sorry, but I completely disagree. He's not the quickest player on earth, sure, but he is certainly not slow. And to say he is not mobile...wtf?? He's not some kind of Heskey-esque lumbering battering ram you know, he is an all-round footballing centre forward.
Obviously the injury record is an issue, though he has played a reasonable number of games in each of the past three seasons.
