Really. Was that before or after we were linked to him?
Finding it hard to picture anyone worse than calamity Senderos and perma-injured Djourou.
He exploded on to the scene, valued at £20M linked with everyone then injuries, family issues and loss of form lead to him been given the end of the season off he was abysmal. So most clubs cooled interest city were signing anyone with a name. I think it was a fluke he turned out decent for them. They were signing everyone and he was available. The fact they got him for 8M when they were being charged double for players speaks volumes.
A move to a bigger club with more pressure could have been the final nail in his coffin at that point.
