Nearly 100 apps in 3 seasons, he was hardly a bench player.“for a long time”..???
Hardly played in his 1st season and was in and out of the team for periods thereafter. An absolute show pony of a player who cost us points big time with laziness at the back…see the 2-3 home loss to Spurs when he decided not to bother tracking back late on. Could never accept responsibility for his mistakes (Fulham H sending off) & trouble behind the scenes. Not a good combo. Pep clearly had had enough of the guy.
We used to call him the Wizard of Joao…
You can nitpick mistakes and errors by every player, what's that got to do with anything?
Pep did, which is why we loaned him. What's your point?
