Better than Sidwell, probably Coker as well, in as much as he carries a goal threat and can pass a ball straight.
He'd have made a good squad player most certainly. He's improved a lot since leaving us. We need to be looking at signing a really decent player to replace Petrov in the 11, never mind squaddies. In certain areas we need first 11ers to shift some of our current players onto the bench.
Good luck to him though, a good signing for the Hammers. I think he and Parker would work well together.
