Scott Sinclair - now gone

[garyshawsknee]

I think he would have done well in the Championship, don't think he would cut it at a higher level.

Sinclair's a flat track bully, most of his goals for us were against weak sides in the cup and also got 2 v Sunderland. Gestede would get 20 goals for Celtic.

He's done very well out of Football given he isn't hugely passionate about it given Dave's ITK about him on here.

Wouldn't mind climbing into bed with who's waiting for him every night though!

He scored in 6 games for us, 5 were against PL sides. He's an ok player, nothing more but Rodgers does seem to get the best out of him. Happens sometimes, Heskey was the same with Houllier.

Absolute fanny who smashes the equivalent of non league football. He's shit and has a heart the size of a hamsters cock. I;m not interested in seeing his ilk in the Villa Kit ever again.

Pretty much my view on him. Plus he's got a stupid dyed buffon. I can't say I miss him.

The ting with Sinclair is that he's a decent finisher so if you can find a way to get the ball to him in the box he'll get a decent number of goals, even for us his record was reasonable (1 in 5) for someone who was down as a winger.  The problems are that he can't really beat a man, he can't cross, he doesn't time his runs particularly well and he's neither particularly strong or particularly fast meaning he has literally nothing to explain how he has over 100 premier league appearances to his name.  Take him to a lower standard (or against poorer sides in cups) and his finishing ability in the box comes to the fore and he scores for fun (6 of the 9 he scored for us were lower league team cup ties).  Yes he's doing well for Celtic and he probably would've been ok for us this year but he's still a very limited player.

Pretty much it, really. Had a good first season for Swansea in the PL but then made a silly career move. Given that he scored 19 goals the last time he played in the Championship and we've complained a lot about not scoring enough goals, can't really turn a nose up at him, but it was probably the best for all parties to have moved on for a decent fee last summer.

[Percy McCarthy]

We got a bit of money back for him (something of a rarity over the last 7/8 years), he didn't lie or embarrass us to leave, he's helped my second club to six titles in a row (and  hopefully ten eventually).

No bad feeling from me.

[PaulTheVillan]

He'd have been OK in the championship for us this season if he stayed. He's obviously found his level.

Is this anything to do with that Celtic player who destroyed Hearts on Sunday - Scott sink-ler ?

[JUAN PABLO]

Gardner would look like de bruyne in that league

[Jon Crofts]

Sinclair always struck me as someone who liked the idea of being a pro footballer but couldn't really be arsed in the end and just about did enough to stay out of the firing line.

[N'ZMAV]

Kolo Touré looks like Paul McGrath in that league - it really is a bag of wank.

[kippaxvilla2]

He's a very gifted footballer in my opinion.  Attitude possibly questionable under certain managers.  But I'm pretty sure he would've cut it at our current level.

I'm just amazed at the way Scot slims down from being reserve prop for England in order to play up front for Celtic
