In the few games we saw of him last season I thought that he was certainly a big physical lad, which we're lacking in midfield, and covered a lot of ground but didn't seem as comfortable on the ball as Poyet would want, so not surprised to see him go.
Not sure why anyone would be surprised by this at all. In the few games he did play he was utter cackpanse. Technically he was no better than a pub player and imagine him trying to gel into Poyets passing style. No thanks.
Why's he suddenly class? Didn't his team finish bottom of the league this season?
For the record id like him to be given a chance here but most people thought he was shit when he was here I don't understand what he's done to change people's minds.
