He'd flop badly here I think, always seems to have a clanger in him and strikes me as the type that will get bullied at set pieces.

[Shaggy]

[colin85]

Wowzers.

I once saw him play live a couple years ago and its just reaffirmed my belief that he is just a lazy, annoying football and always trys the cantona i'm so **** hot [no your a ****] pass, shoot, whatever. He has many great attributes just comes across as I can't be arsed

He did score an absolutely amazing goal in the Euros one of the best I've ever seen up there with Di Canio's Mid Air Volley for West Ham.
