Good luck KEA. Not as good as i'd hoped you'd be, not as bad as many made out you were.
Yup, nicely put.

I concur. Wouldn't have been unhappy if he had stayed.

He came, he saw but, sadly he didn't conquer.  Many thanks for your efforts KEA, for a while you were one of us.

Did you ever see him play for us?
I assume he's not just guessing.

We must have a player coming in then or we have very little cover.  He worked hard but was a nothing player. No loss. Get someone in who can makes difference.

Scored a great goal against Citeh last season at the Holte End.
He seemed incapable of making good tackles and was always behind the attacking midfielder with the ball - hey, ho: we go again.

I won't believe he has gone until Jim White shouts "gone with IMMEDIATE EFFECT!!!"

I didn't mind him. He was ok overall last season but obviously found it hard going in his first season. He didn't cost us the earth so no harm done really. Good luck to him and thanks for the goal against the pinstripeyfilth.

I will not be a hypocrite. I wish him well but am heartily glad to see the back of him. Players who can do it but only choose to do it once in a blue moon are the reason why we are where we are.

Could never understand the level of criticism he got.

Good luck to him.

He was clearly out of his depth in the Premier League. Did you ever see him play for us?
No he wasn't, and yes, of course I did.

What I saw was a player who never stopped working, did a lot of dirty work, and who popped up with a couple of vital goals and assists which did a great deal to keep us in the league last season.

Am I upset that he's gone? No. But to say he was 'clearly out of his depth' is absolute nonsense.
