Assombolonga has not been scoring at 1 in 3 for 2 years.
His last 69 league matches covering 2 years has seen him score 19 goals and provide 2 assists.
Forget his fee, forget his wages, that is simply not good enough.
He is now a 1 in 4 goalscorer who creates absolutely nothing for anybody else.
He is lazy, has no fight and offers no passion.
There is more to a forward than just scoring goals, that is true. Kevin Davies was a 1 in 6 player, but did ever so much more for his clubs on the pitch than score goals.
But there is nothing more to Assombolonga's game and he just doesn't score many.
Jordan Rhodes was a 1 in 2 goalscorer, but is certainly not anymore.
Assombolonga was a 1 in 3 goalscorer, but is certainly not anymore.
Get shot of him this month.
Getting a fee for him and ending his wage would be great business.
