Gave him enough of a chance but he never really showed he had what it took to become a top player for us. Aliadiere's career has recovered as well for Lorient while Anthony Stokes has averaged 20+ goals a season for the last three years but none of them are too big a loss for us.
The King Is Back.
He was getting played at inside left where podolski has been played.
He was good for one thing only - scoring the fifth goal in a league cup rout
Shit player. My only regret is not getting a few million from hull, Brum or whoever for him
Vela = poor mans aliadiere.
If you're looking for an Iberian lefty we failed to get the most out of think Jose Antonio Reyes. He was much much better.

Wrong I didn't hate project youth, I do hate it as it's still going on, but that has been the odd talent that has come through (no more than any normal club which considering we put all our focus into this is shocking).
I'm p*ssed off we kept hold of the likes of Chamakh and Bendtner and got rid of him yes, it wouldn't be so bad if we signed players but clearly it's not something we do, we like to sit on our arses and make ridiculous excuses whilst every other club snaps up talented players all around us.
