Of course I'm not saying it means he's a bad player, I'm just saying that when asked if he's a like for like replacement for a very good player, you can't convince someone by saying he's played a lot and cost a moderate amount at a previous point in his career.

And appearances mean f**k all without context. I bet that guy down the local five a side who's played 600 games over the past ten years is being scouted by the best clubs in the world, right?

you either trust your manager or there is little point in having him, at the time he was trusted.
to answer your second point no, but 300 appearances at an appropriate competitive level do
