I'd love to have wasted my life as badly as he has.
I guess i meant wasted talent when you think how hard  a player has to work to become a top footballer and than not fulfilling that  to the ultimate degree!

And yes I know he earns many many thousands a week and has a very attrative GF

I'm sure it was Sinclair who a few seasons back, maybe in Swansea's first year back up, tore Warnock a new one time and again in a game at VP.

It was Nathan Dyer

I can never understand why some footballers will work their damndest from their early schooldays to make it as a pro then give up when they're so close to the summit. I would imagine that the gap between a good footballer in the playground to Sinclair or Charles N'Zogbia is absolutely massive compared to the final step to them being a Beckham or Gerrard.

don't care about the picture because there's plenty where she looks quite good. What doesn't change is the fact that she's a right dope, with or without make-up.

It's all about desire. Look at what Lampard and Beckham have achieved in their careers compared to more naturally gifted players. Sinclair has gone from boy wonder at Bristol City to a player who couldn't quite make the grade at Chelsea to becoming an England hopeful at Swansea. I understand that the contract offered by Man City has secured his financial future but at the age of 25 i'd say this will be his last chance of a top flight career. He's got the ability, that's not in dispute. The next few months will prove whether or not he has the heart.

As far as I see it, this is a big opportunity for him to get his career back on track.

If he doesn't grab the opportunity at Villa, you wonder what else is left for him in the game, other than a move to a Championship side.

On the basis that we can send him packing if he doesn't produce (see Cleverley, Tom), I can't see what we've got to lose.

Let's hope he's motivated unlike when he was at Albion.

In fairness, having to slum it with that lot would have that effect on most right thinking people.

Well, playing devil's advocate, potentially our top flight status.

Some loan players work out some don't it all comes down to the individual and their motivation, no doubt this guy can play let's hope he's more of a Kyle Walker than a Phil Bardsley.

Loan with a view to a move is a good idea. He's the width we've been lacking. Hopefully no more Gabby in the team.

I've had a million times worse. I'd bet we all have.
