But it’s true his output is massively down, 5 big chances created after just under 50 percent of the matches last time he got 32 in 40 games.
Whilst the style of play is in stark contrast to the creative play seen last time, it probably still was a reason why Sunderland came to that value after all it was the highest total the championship had seen.
So unless he exceeds the goals or assists totals are we likely to see similar offers?
