It would have given him a lot of confidence and he'd have been an instant holte end hero, which would have bought him time and made it hard for him to be overlooked by the manager. Sorry just realised thread title is Stefan Moore, but Luke was being discussed the last few posts, which is who I was talking about obv.Yep, it's a game of fine margins really. I recall Bosko Balaban in one of his few games, I think against Utd. He found himself through, 1 on 1 with the keeper but fluffed it. Had he scored, thinks might have been very different for him here. I was at that game and remember clearly Bosko being through on goal in the second half when we were 1-0 up. He looked scared, never really in control and knowing what he was going to do. He fluffed his chance and I was fairly certain there and then that he was shit. I saw him again in the 3-1 win at Saints a few weeks later and realised he was really shit. Shitter than any player worth £6m could ever dream of being.Southampton had that fella on loan who claimed to be George Weah's cousin. He was shit - uber shit- but at least they didn't buy him. Bosko has to be the worst value signing I have ever seen.

I thought Luke looked really promising in O'Neill's first season, that shoulder injury really wrecked his chances.
My mate used to cover the reserves for WM and even for the reserves he said Bosko looked shit and out of his depth. Which is weird when you consider he was useful everywhere else he played.

Probably not the correct thread fort his but not sure where else to put it.....story of Richard Flash (Villa fan) and how he was touted as the next big thing.
