    Any news on what's happening with him??? Don't think we would have him back now to be fair with the likes of Gradel being named. For his age he has played for alot of clubs!

    I don't believe that Cotterill has the balls to knuckle down when the going gets tough. He's been to lots of clubs and tends to impress at first. But when new players are brought in and he feels under pressure for his place, he seems to lose his way. Then he gets a new loan move, signs for them and the cycle repeats.

    He's a good player when on form and free of pressure, but I think his head gets in the way of his ability too often. Don't think he can do a job for us in the Premiership to be honest.

    Hopefully will be moved on. A player who has allways flattered to deceive. I totally agree with BK. he does well for a short while and then fades away. The end for him was Leceister away. He produced possibly the worst performance by a swans player in a long long time. I dont think he passed once to another swans player.
    Thanks for the service. Time to move on to whoever wants you. Back to Portsmouth maybe.

    Agree with every word of the above. The match at Leicester was the final straw for me, for someone with ability to put in so little effort was disgraceful. Ship him out asap.

    Sometimes his effort can be questionable but he has got a decent level of skill about him and i would rather him as cover than Butler as over the last 2 seasons we havent had a chance to see his effort or skill levels due to severe lack of playing time!!! I thought we sold him...was shocked when it came about that he is extending his contract!!

    jack, I would rather have neither him nor Butler. Neither are good enough. I hope we get someone who is capable of playing in the prem.

    TLF, I agree wouldn't choose either and rather someone like Gradel or a loanee along the lines of Kakuta but if we don't get anyone, god forbid, then would much rather Cotterill! Keep hold of him until cover comes in then offload him
