I remember some manager or pundit saying we had signed the next Alan Shearer.
Maybe expectations were too high, and he did score some useful goals (Millwall away springs to mind), but overall he was never worth £3m, didn't gel with the team, couldn't head for a big lad, couldn't finish, made me look speedy and was weaker than the missus's cuppa.
*edit*
Did you see Samaras' overhead kick for Greece at the weekend? Samaras is the better player.
