People see his size and pace and think he should be good but when you actually watch him he's awful. Never been any good, anywhere, ever. Probably not even good enough for the championship.

I have no idea how he ended up at Barcelona. He was never any use at any club he's been at. A myth of a footballer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he had a crazy good successful take on or beating his man or dribble stat or something like that, one of the best in the league, he lead the league in certain stats but that then makes his G/A stats look even worse He beats his man for fun then shanks his cross, rinse and repeat He still can't play on the shoulder either which is ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite amusingly, it remains the case several years later that the only manager to ever really get a tune out of him was . . . Tony Pulis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of feel for him because he’s unbelievably good at part of the game and unbelievably bad at another equally important part of the game. It’s a very rare combination that I’m not sure I’ve seen in another player ever. Increasingly looking like he chose the wrong sport. Feel like he’d have been a hell of a rugby player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Honestly his video before we signed him is still the best I have seen. Couldn't believe what I was watching. I thought we had a generational talent on our hands. And I remember his debut, came on against Palace and just completely destroyed their fullback (Souare was it?), thinking okay yeah he's going to be ridiculous.

Yeah he forced an own goal I think in a 2-1 defeat shortly after coming on as sub. Definitely was not a sign of things to come, well, other than the result at that time.
