Don't think anyone will argue that apart from Stevie, maybe.

didactic said:I will repeat what I have been saying for the past 3 years the fact that people still wish him well speaks highly of blues and its all about familiarity but he simply is not even better than AJ. He was just one of the best we had THEN which as the chairman said was a long, long time ago when we still were "Typical City". The fact he is English helps too but being absolutely realistic do you see him getting into our team even on the bench? A bench that at times players like Dzeko, Balotelli couldnt find a seat on?
Let the memories go its like holding on to a long gone girlfriend who you broke up with but still believe in your head was the one. We made him better than he was he never fulfilled that potential.
Not a waster, but definitely goldbricking.True_Blue69 said:Bit harsh this thread. The lad had a bad injury, probably knew it may have been career threatening and went off the rails a bit (allegedly). Who can blame him? If any of you have read Lakeys book you might get a bit of insight into what it can do to you mentally. Calling him a waster is wrong. Good luck to him whatever he ends up doing.
''Allegedly''? I think there's been too many stories/sightings of him ''out and about'' for it to be allegedly. Even if half the stories are bullshit, that still leaves a lot of sightings; too many for a lad in his position. Think of Vinnie, Kun, Nige, Joe, GazBaz etc etc; the spine of the team. You don't hear much about them out on the town. Coincidence?True_Blue69 said:Bit harsh this thread.

Anyway my mate was always nervous about introducing me cause I'd usually speak my mind, especially with a beer down me. Anyway, met him afew times now, still strikes me as abut of a kid. Doesnt flash his cash at all, only goes to afew familiar pubs to avoid aggro (some rag swung for him in the bowling green last year).
Talked to him abit and he just basically doesn't like football that much. Dreading going to Leicester
As said above, pretty sad. All of us would swop places with him.
LoveCity said:I find it really sad, I seriously believe he would have been part of that title winning squad had he never got the injuries and progressed with a good attitude. I think he would have done a Micah and survive the cull, he was a brilliant talent and not just a "good player in a wank team" but a genuine talent who was even better than Ireland IMO.
