"Was very popular at Latics. In his first 2 seasons, he started off very shaky, but it was easy to forget he was a young lad in a foreign country, with his humongous frame and receding hairline! But he got over that, and soon became one of the first names on the team sheet. He simply doesn't lose physical battles, and is deceptively fast, but it takes him a second or 2 to get into top gear. He is prone to mistakes, and giving away penalties, but he will hopefully grow out of that with experience and good coaching. Good for a few headed goals a season too. Gutted to see him go, but we were prepared for his exit, and the Championship is a natural progression for him. Good luck to him!"
