He was given chances. Fact of the matter is...he didn't to enough to dislodge DCL or even DCL did more to warrant being first choice.
Then the lad had to decide to bide his time and fight for his place (he'd only been here 12months) or feel unhappy about the situation and agree to play elsewhere.
End of the day, he dropped from Juve to us as a way of playing more regularly. That didn't happen over 2 managers and he's found it tough to break in.
This idea that it's the club's fault for not pandering to the next Van Nistlerooy is ridiculous
