Never ending argument with Dom. Same argument from both sides. But here it is again.
The most important two attributes as a striker are to score goals and to utilise your opportunities. And he doesn't do this well enough. HOWEVER - the other attributes to complete a striker, he has got. He is quick, he is strong, he is dominant in the air (and he doesn't even realise it yet), he is good with his back to goal and he has a cracking attitude. If there is any player who can fix/enhance/vastly improve on ability to utilise opportunities by scoring he'll be good enough.
Bang average player scored vs City. Jesus and Sterling also scored so they are bang average. If you score, you are bang average.
