Wouldn't mind him in the squad, but I still can't get over the disgusting paper talk.

No thanks.  He's been going downhill for a long, long time.  He'd be this season's Pires.

Surely he'd be a more effective Prem player than Pires.

Wouldn't want him though. It wouldn't be on a Pires level of badness, but he's definitely not the player he was, nor good enough at this level any more.

It turned out he didn't even have a son.

That's right apparently he doesn't even have a son, let alone one with cancer.
Who spreads these awful stories ?
 >:(
Personally, I think he would be a much better bet than Pires as a useful squad player, if he is available.
He was a regular in the Prem last season and still one of Sunderland's best performers.
