He's a skillful player, with pace and can defend.

He's just too lazy to show his skill, his pace and his defending.

The reason Newcastle let him leave was because of his attitude, and demanding 50k a week whilst not performing.

Juve wanted him until they realised what his personality is like.

Yes, strange one that. Bruce was prepared to spend £400,000.00 in January '05 to bring him to club until the end of that season. In the end, however, he went to Southampton instead. During the pre season he was a free agent and was, I remember, here on trial but Bruce didn't want him.

Why would he want to spend £400,000.00 on him and then six months later decide he wasn't what we needed? Even though he was on a 'free'?

Usual reason. The board wouldn't fork out the money.

would have been another player at the club caught queing for his payslip rather than producing on the field IMO.

Big name, little effort seems to be the order of the season at BCFC :(

Same reason we didn't sign Michael Ball, Curtis Davies, Paul Scharner, Jason Euell etc - board wouldn't spend the money.

As a wingback, maybe, but in all fairness, he wasnt the best. I think we could have done with some loanees. Sean Davis in the centre of mid, would've given us a little bit of bite, Routledge would've offered us alot more than Julian 'Bobby Valentino' down the left. And would've taken the onus off the delinquent shoulders of Jermaine 'DUI' Pennnant!

He would have just been a slower lazier version of Melchiot with a left foot instead of right
