Please explain.
Good luck to the guy, but decent pace is pushing it a bit in my memory, he was a reasonably skill full , competent player but pace wasn't one of his attributes at least not for a wideman.I could never fault his work rate. He tore around the pitch and had some decent pace. He just didn’t fit in with the boss plan.
His speed wouldn't have been such an issue if we had a pacey left back that could contribute going forward.Fair play to him, he has clarified his earlier comments which seemed a bit disrespectful.
Imo he just wasn't quick enough to play his role & that's it. Nothing wrong with his footballing ability.
