Rodgers just didn't know how to use Aspas properly (the same way rodgers screwed up firmino). I am glad he is doing well for his club and country. He seems to be the 2nd choice striker for spain (deputizing for costa).
You mean the Firmino he only had 8 league games with?
Aspas couldn't handle the league, physically, positionally, or in terms of speed. It happens. Morientes was the same, as was DiMaria and Falcao. All three better players than Aspas. It happens. Rodgers' issue in transfers is that he needs players to excel in 1v1 and physical play at the same time. It's a tough combination to find without paying for it. So if Aspas was a Rodgers choice, then it was never going to work. If he was a transfer committee choice, then it was still never going to work, because it still wouldn't have fit Rodgers' needs.
He's a decent player, but he's hardly a world beater. 12 open play goals in 28 games. It's a good record. But if we were to move back to England, it would probably be halved, or worse.
