Cannnot think of a player who has such a split in support

as JC for a long while.
His new nickname should be Marmite.
Possibly due to the fact that most City fans would love him to do well and are willing him to score goals.
I recently spoke to an ex City player who played with JC and he reiterated what most of us already know "one of the most naturally gifted goalscorers I've ever played with...but has the most fragile confidence ever too"
I still would rather Cureton than Sibierski anyday.
