Guest dunellaowl Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 A turd would have shone among that dross he played with. Decent player that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archieswfc Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 He was unpopular to start with as he looked lazy. Add to this he was signed at the same time as de bilde, Jonk etc. The beginning of our demise. But towards the end he was our most popular player I'd say. His name was sung every game. Once the penny dropped his class shone through. the reading game was his swansong he left the following week .like a lot of others have said had ability by the bucket load which just about made up for his lack of grit and determination but weather he was worth the 4/5 million he cost us is debatable. 2 million wasn't it?

Guest zico sterland Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Bad first season but improved the second season, so much talent with not enough effort , but was head and shoulders above the rest of the squad for ability after relegation. I loved him but could see why many didnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dani_armo Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 On the whole he was poo poo, as someone has already said he ended up costing us about £5m for a few goals in the 2nd division. Just shows how poo we were that he was one of the better players! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hoppy Hopper Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I liked him he could play a bit I don't think he was there to run around. Needed to play in a team that had talented enough players to support him. After he left us the next time I saw of him was a game for Ajax against Arsenal - speaks volumes.

steelowl Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 He was unpopular because he only played for 20 minutes a game. He then became popular when the rest of the team couldn't manage 20 minutes of decent play between them. agree the bloke was an enigma his free kicks were rogue missiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I know, especially as he was one of of the players who didn't jump ship after our relegation. We were meant to come straight back up but when none of your top players wanna stay, what can you do? Players who jumped ship; Ian Nolan Peter Atherton Niclas Alexandersson Danny Sonner Peter Rudi Andy Booth Richard Creswell Giles De Bilde Sibon was one of the few decent players who stuck by us. However, pains me to say it but with the exception of Alexandersson, for this bunch of players to feel they could do better than a well fancied league 1 (at the time) winning team there must have been a lot going wrong at the club. Stuck by us? He stayed because nobody would take him and his wages off us. He was awful in the premier league, and only really stood out toward the end of his time here, when we were a league lower and the team was full of absolute dross. Had the talent but didn't apply himself. His lazy attitude made him even more frustrating because you knew what he could do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
