Massive prick and overrated by the media as his "profile" is relatively high

Seems to have become a popular myth that "if it wasn't for his off field problems he'd be playing for a top 4 club." if he was that good the top clubs would overlook his off field problems.

I don't remember him being anything that special when at Man City (was in and out of a fairly average Man City team as i recall) and Newcastle are doing better without him.

Looked pretty average when i saw QPR against Spurs recently.
