I thought we had signed a fantastic player when he arrived but,while he had some great games,he never quite consistently hit those heights and i think we have just been waiting to upgrade ever since.Also i never took to him as a man,far too hipster for my liking and a bit too fond of trying to con the ref/ exaggerating a foul.
All that aside,i cannot criticise his commitment and effort,you could always rely on him to give 100% and he never went hiding,you can't say that for a lot of players these days.......so i'm grateful for that.
All the best Nico,enjoy that very generous new contract.
