Being on the bench tells me he's fit and available to play .Yes, i say he isn't good enough. I also say the scout isn't good enough for recommending him. Vault me in the future for that byt all means but i think if he can't get a game before tom davies then he isn't good enough to play in the league.
And he was never voted russias player of the year, he won player of the month once and that was it.
the fact he is on the bench as you say tells you everything about him not being good enough, unless martinez has been wasting a sub slot for 3 months on a player not fit to play.
If he's not gonna play him put McEleny Leandro or even Brewster on the bench.
