Towards the end of last season he wasn't getting game time and was so bad in one game he was dragged off a minute before ht. I'd been saying for months at the end of last season that we were better without him in the starting 11

the big problem was not adequately replacing him, instead we sleep walked through the season with 2 wingers who aren't really wingers

Antonio had one bad game against Charlton when he tweeted before the match that he wasn't fit to play but had been told to play. He suffered a terrible head injury early on & we were leading 2-1 when he went off. SG said it was a tactical move but in my view he was letting Antonio know that he was the boss.

A couple of weeks later, Antonio had his best performance in a Wednesday shirt when he ripped Bournemouth apart single handed as we won 4-2 with ten men. While others grabbed the headlines with the goals, it was Antonio who won it pretty much on his own.

If we want to replace him with a player of similar quality then it will cost us £5m because that is pretty much how good Antonio is. Sadly SG and some Wednesday fans couldn't see it (and some still can't).
