Perhaps I was a little harsh with ‘crap.’ I never thought he was good enough and I don’t think he ever will be. I don’t think he’s good enough for WH either. Time will tell. As for it being a confidence thing, maybe that’s a factor. I’ve watched both games he started for WH and he was pretty poor.The most concerning thing was that he didn’t seem arsed, a real lack of effort. I don’t think he’s at Jamie Pollock or Nigel Cloughs level but not far off when put in context. Just my opinion..With respect, he wasn’t crap, and isn’t crap.
Fair enough, he may not have been at the level you expect, and no doubt we’ll lose money on him, but I’ve seen far worse than him playing for City.
His confidence is shot and every mistake is being highlighted. It doesn’t mean he cannot recover and play well again for another team.

We are going to be lucky to get £40mil in the summer at this rate, hopefully he settles in with a run of games but we can all see why Pep would never start him. Even those who didn't want to accept that.

I’d be surprised if we get anything close to that figure bearing in mind he’s on a decent wage. Can see him going on another long-term next season where hopefully we can at least get most, if not all of his wages covered. Gonna have to take a major financial hit on this one.We are going to be lucky to get £40mil in the summer at this rate, hopefully he settles in with a run of games but we can all see why Pep would never start him.

As others have said, he seems a nice guy and never kicked up a fuss here despite not playing so genuinely hope he can have a positive end to the season and go to the euros in good form.
There’s a player in there somewhere, just nowhere near the level or standard that we now demand.

He isn't a shit player, far from it. The lad has just had terrible luck.
His injury really set him back and knocked his confidence. Otherwise, I think he'd have gone the same route as many other players we've signed in recent years - Steady enough in their first season playing games off the bench in most games and starting in the early rounds of the domestic cups, and then kicked on a level in his second season as an integral part of the squad.
Never really had that chance, but I wouldn't be totally shocked to see him back with us pre-season.

Stop making him out to be better than he is.I did say he’s fucking wank.

The dude lives a life most can only fantasise about, cruises around in a Roller and is on 170k a week for the next 5 years guaranteed and all for having average talent, jesus wept.
He looks like a man going through the motions, amazed he has hit the jackpot.
