Penalty taker and defender in one of the form sides in the championship. (Scored again tonight.)

Is he a must have?

My concerns are that I don't expect Burnley to continue the early season form and at 36 he can't last a season without breaking down.
Or am I just being stubborn over my disdain for an overachieving side?

Not sure. He came into my team two weeks ago, given that I am so far behind, might as well take some risks. I mean an international player, and certainly a consistent one down the years. Always wonder why no prem team came in for him?
