I'm never really sure if he's either:

a) a decent player, starved of any sort of service; or
b) dogshit

While I want to believe it is (a), by now I can't help but feel that a decent player would have found a way to demonstrate his ability. Like the rest of the squad, I saw him as a new player when Harris took over but he just offers nothing. He has none of the abilities you might think necessary of a professional footballer. His first touch is dreadful; he is never in space; he's got no pace, no trickery, no skill; he's soft. I am sure the way we play is exactly what he is not looking for, but nevertheless he's shown no real sign that he belongs on the pitch. I've no idea what he does that could ever give the other team any problems - I reckon I could mark him.

But this season is basically a drawn-out trial for squad places for next season, so he will have a lot of time yet to prove otherwise, and I hope he does.
