Indeed, I was a little facetious, and apologise for that, but stats aren’t everything when you look at emerging and breakout players.
Simply because he hasn’t good goal involvement figures doesn’t make him a poor prospect. His team nearly got relegated.
Stats based fans then suggest Barnes and Maddison at Leicester as better options.
They aren’t. They have more goal contributions, in a better team, but Maddison is flawed as a person (Leicester fans were calling for him to be sacked at the end of the previous season) and Barnes has improved a bit, but is bang average.
