I've been a big fan of his ever since he was at Blackburn... however, possibly the worst business deal in our history, as we signed a player at a cost of some £40m investment who will barely play 40 games for us.
I don't blame the player, I blame the manager and the CEO who signed this deal off.
That's pretty fair. His talent isn't really the issue, as every time I've seen him fit, he is a very good player.
Where's the £40m figure come from? Wages and agents or something?
Also, he may be the new Benjani and stick around. He'd be useful to have as a reserve who could play a few games now and then.
