    That guy must have been unbe-freaking-lievable. What did he have, like 68 goals in only like 65 caps or something? And I want to say about 500 goals in fewer than 600 club games. Ridiculous.

    EDIT: Just checked, and it's 68 in 62 internationals. 487 in 565 club games. Like I said, ridiculous.

    DK -

    Not sure what exactly your point was here, but I doubt it matters. My point was that "He's a not yet established player at a level that he has not yet proven he can consistently perform at." Exactly my point. If you want to dive deep and examine every nuance of his performance, great. I enjoy some of that too. BUT (here's where attention is needed): his performance thus far is fantastic but a world-class Prem player it doesnt make (yet) (we agree) and, I think it's a bit silly to perseverate on the shots off target because very few players have >25% conversion rates on shots/goals.

    Again, at least he's taking chances and if he converts 20% of them, he will probably be a top scorer in the Prem.
