He's not s**t, he can be very effective, but as I said when we signed him

he doesn't fit our style of play. The only real role for him in our system is the Wes role. But Wes is better at that than he is, and we also have quite a lot of Number Tens queuing up to give Wes some competition these days.

I hoped we'd be able to find a way of fitting him in - he is better than what we've seen - but the way we play doesn't really suit him, and he will do better elsewhere, and we will do better with someone else who can play our way.
