Hype would've been the same anyway, imo the number thing is overrated. It's down to the injuries, doesn't matter if he was possibly overrated before and what number he got, he isn't the same player as he was before the injuries. Not like he just suddenly crumbled under pressure, if anything he looked scared to get injured again. Wouldn't be the first player who got fucked over by injuries, and surely won't be the last one. Sucks, but can happen. Let's hope he can still recover.
On top of that i don't think he was looking like a CF even before the injuries. It's said about so many wingers/2nd strikers but most of the times the transition doesn't work, especially at that age.
