    If he had stayed fit, he would have played more for Saints and a Saints fan can't give higher praise than that. Good lad. Wish him all the best...he deserves some luck.

    Has an absolutely brilliant left-foot, if we're being honest he was probably the best crosser at the club when he was fit.

    However, he does struggle with fitness! But he is very creative and has a superb cross on him.

    Was very influential for Oxford on loan, their results picked up and he was involved in a hell of a lot of goals, either scoring or assisting.
    (so I am told by an OUFC fan)

    What happened with Swindon?

    Either way, quality quality player when fit - easily a Championship player when 100%

    He did well for Swindon at the end of the season. I was thinking they may have kept him on. A good tryer but as others have said, prone to injury.

    For Preston, well worth the risk! I'd be happy.

    Disappointed about that. I was hoping he was going to stay local-ish.

    He'll do well for Preston if he stays fit.

    Gaffer tape his knees and you've got a good Championship player. No really, he's been here for ages compared to most of our team and going through all the managers we had without having a good spell of being fit has not done his career much good at all. I did not realise he was only 25 to be honest. Hopefully he stays fit and does well.

    he was one of our best players in our last championship stint, so now he has grown a bit he can probably handle the championship

    I would have put him at mid to top table championship quality however his constant injury problems makes him almost very difficult to justify

    If the man could stay fit, he'd have been awesome for us. That's probably why he was given so much time at the club. I fear the guy will never play a full season, but i hope so, I really hope so, got a lot of respect for him.

    Echo the above - he just could never get a run going here, and I hope for all concerned he's over the knee problems which have hindered him so far. Will be a great player for Preston, has always shown he's better than League 1 level and I can see him helping you climb higher. Great guy also!

    Won our Community Player of the Year like 2 years running, so he is a really good guy.
