Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.87 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 39, both level and resale value are on the downslope.

In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.34 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
