The other argument is "he only scores goals, doesn't do anything else for the team."

Which is balls as well. Well, it's not, it's true, he's not a Tevez where he's constantly harrying the oppo, chasing down lost causes and tracking back. BUT, while he "only" scores goals, the point is he DOES score goals, which to my mind at least is about a million times more important then tracking back, chasing lost causes etc etc. As long as he DOES score goals - but that's OK, because he does (Derby aside, but ignore them, unfair comparison).
