I remember the game up at Old Trafford last season, he did'nt give the ball away once. He got sent off up at Blackpool and picked up an injury and did'nt really have much of a run after that. I think he would have come good given the time, we gave Petrov long enough.

He was GHou's man... though I was under the impression that McLeish's knowledge of the European game is good (certainly compared to MON). Maybe he didn't want to risk giving Makoun a run and it not working out when he can get someone else in that he fancies (Craig Gardner started sulking at being benched at Sunderland yet?).

Why the hell did I think it would be a good idea to get his name on the back of my shirt?

Unless we get a pretty decent central midfielder in at some point in the next 48 hours then this move is absolutely ridiculous.

So over the (long) weekend we lose 2 more first team squad members with still no more coming in.  Bit of a joke now isn't it.

Seems like mentalism on a grand scale to let him go, I'd offer my services but I'm shit at football. Yes, I'm even worse than Nicky Shorey.

Greece and Turkey is the end result for not quite fitting in footballers. Not surprised that he has ended up there. Amazed that we just keep shedding players without any replacements. I am now worried about the sort of transfers in we are likely to make. Could it get any worse?

I'd be in the store soon, asking them why Eck is making statements about players not leaving, if they're gonna leave anyway. 'caused you to waste your cash.

This.

Some of the comments about him being Djemba Djemba mk2 or Petrov in negative are quite baffling.

Oh well, no point crying over spilt milk and all that, time for the rest (whats left of them) to step up now.

The little I saw of him was very unimpressive. Capable of a sideways pass or two and mistimed tackles as fas I could gather.

I think I saw enough that I wanted to see more, but then Gezza wasn;t playing him much, neither did Gary Mac and now AM also doesn;t fancy him.  Guess they must be right and me wrong, but I still think it's a shame.

The only worry in my opinion is that it's another body out with no sign of a replacement, but I didn't think he was good enough.  Another great use of funds to go with all the others.
