Rumours that he's fallen out at Palarse, as he was upset at Burley's sacking. Dropped from the squad ;refusing to play?). Would he make a good signing for Charlton?
(I think not, but he was linked once, a few seasons ago).
On ability - yes. I remember that 25 yard backheel he scored against us a few seasons back. If that'd been scored by a 'Big 4' player it'd have been shown around the world. But any player who refuses to play (if that's true) for whatever reason (other than injury) has to be questioned. Also I suspect that he might be a player whose talent Parky wouldn't be able to harness a la Shelvey!
The last time he scored more than fifteen goals in a season was eight years ago. Scored two in seventeen games this season. And scored two in twenty seven games last season. Think pardew will sign him before us.
