A lot of Southend fans really rate him. Up until the last two games he's been playing well for them. My mate is a season ticket holder and I made the same jokes as above but got shot down.
Been playing really well for them apparently, he's a talented lad but a 4 year contract is risky with him.
He's always been a talented lad, it's just getting the best out of him. Maybe now he's down in league one he's realising it's last chance. Think it was Burnley we played at home in his first game for us & he played really well I can't even remember seeing him play for us again after that
If they can get him focused and retaining that focus he's a good player at that level. **** of a human being but a good player. I think the wheels will come off again but who knows?
