Skuse is far better than many of our fans think, no coincidence both Watford / Derby last season were chasing him. Very underated by some, give him two proper wide boys with pace to hit all season and you'd see a different player. He hasn't had that his entire time here. That said Faurlin could be worth acquiring good player!
I rate him talent wise quite highly but ambition and courage wise he's rubbish. He could be such a better player IMO. Much like Keane was to Ferguson, Skuse is very much Mick epitomised in a player...talented yet risk averse so will never fulfil his true potential, it's about percentages rather than the glory!!
I have a feeling Mick is behind this itfcptc at Bristol City he sprayed it for fun - he's following managers instructions. I don't say I agree with this but I think that's behind how Skuse is playing for us.
