Why is that NG3?
Because of his injuries?
Pretty much, yes. It's not an anti-Lewis comment, fit & well there would be no '?' but this is the same Achilles problem he had at Norwich & Bournemouth, a problem we bought him with & that hasn't cleared up all year, & has now seen him unable to do a full 90 minutes in about 20-25% of our matches.
Given this is now a long term thing & he's now 31 it's more likely to get worse than better & so we're going to have to look at a top drawer striker to cover, at the very least, this summer, & therefore there has to be the consideration of cashing in, while we still can, & upgrading.
That's not saying we should sell, or will sell, just that there is an issue & whenever there's an issue we should look at it & examine our options.
I don't think we'll necessarily push him out the door, or anything, but if we got a bid of £6m+, considering injuries, age & depreciation, I think we'd have to look at it seriously.
I see. Ty for the additional information on this one.
I guess it is what it is.
