Leroy: This player simply has to go!

Simone Zaza is a nothing centre forward who really should have shown some sort of strong point in his game by now.

ClaretandHugh’s chief analyst Leroy Rosenior – as a former whoehearted front man for the Irons – has delivered a damning verdict on the Italian.

And he declared: “I am just incredibly pleased that David Sullivan made this a loan deal and didn’t rush to make this deal permanent – a very wise move.

Commenting on the Juventus man Leroy added: “Normally you can see something in a player after three or four games but this guy doesn’t appear to have much in his game at all.

“He doesn’t score, doesn’t hold it up, can’t bring players into the game. For me there’s absolutely nothing there.

“Some may say I am judging him too early but honestly you can tell after the number of games he’s played and he’s just not good enough.

“I really can’t see it happening for him with us and I am afraid he will have to go.”

Leroy’s verdict on the game against Middlesborough will appear later on Cand H
