I love watching him play. Glad he's staying. Players like him are why you go and watch.

Rather skilful footballers anyday than a team full of 6' 3" athletes, although I appreciate you need those types of player too.

To suggest he is ineffective and doesn't influence games is unfair and how effectively he'll be used in our new look team I don't know. He only really shone when he had players who made good runs off the ball in front of him (Gow/Mooney). I reckon if he hadn't got injured we may just have stayed up as we looked a threat during that period.

He got Blackpool out of league one though so fingers crossed.
