What happened to him?

Why aren't we using his energy, size and pace?

Bull in a China shop; they're rebuilding him, a la RoboCop.

I think they're afraid of playing him because he has trade value but has a history of being crocked; they'll move him in the offseason for allocation or another player.

I can hear TB on the phone right now: "This guy scored against Spain!"

On the flip side, if he scores a couple goals before the season's end his trade value shoots up. Even just giving him some minutes would help.

I don't know what the deal is. Does Vanney just not like him? I thought he was due for a career year at the start of this season, what a shame.

Hey, at least he'll score 12 goals for whichever club we deal him to next season.

Yep. Dike, for me, is like a poor man's Alan Gordon.

Love, love, love his commitment.. but, he's just a bit wild, in my eyes. At 28, he's not had more than a handful of professional starts to hang his hat on.

Time to cut our losses.. though, I DO agree that we should give him a look; I just think it should come when we're not desperate to score (i.e. Chivas was a PERFECT game for him to come on and nick a goal, for his confidence and potential value, going forward).
