    Must admit, he's looked great for Shef Wednesday.

    I was always excited with the lad. He has fantastic strength, probably one of the strongest in the team, and for long range pace he's probably around Santon's pace.

    He's fast over a long distance, strong, and has some good skill. He missed some great chances, but I think he just lacks that bit of confidence and composure.

    If he had had the same opportunity Carroll had in the CC, he would be a great player. He wasn't as good as Carroll in the air, but much better on the ground.

    He frightened the **** out of some great defenses when coming on as a sub.

    Hope he really changes, and shows it. He could be a great player if he tries.

    I really do hope the lad has turned a corner and is starting to grow up. I remain skeptical however, since he's been such a massive tit.

    I asked him on twitter if this meant he had changed allegiance from the Bloods to the Crips...Still waiting on a response...

    He won't change... He's blown his chance for us as I doubt Paris will accommodate that type of player. Buthelezi will be a good player I the championship level. That's all.

    Hes currently on loan at Sheff Wed till the end of the season.

    Hes a bellend, and to be perfectly honest I thought he was going to be a major talent but even at Sheff Wed he hasnt impressed massively. Would probably have made a decent impact sub for us, but would rather be a gangster instead.

    Plenty talent, not convinced he'll change and realise it. Won't be sorry to see him go if he does.

    I was a big advocate of patience with him but some lads just never have the right mentality for the professional ranks. Young enough to turn it round, probably not intelligent enough though judged on past escapades.

    Have a pal who supports Sheff. Wed and he states Ranger has knuckled down for them and hopes Newcastle release him.

    He will always be a bellend at heart. I don't care about his heart - - I care about his actions. He may, possibly, have realised that acting like a bell end will cause him to be broke and unemplyable by the time he's 30, whereas keeping his bellend-ness hidden will leave him a millionaire several times over at the same age.

    4 months isn't enough to convince me though. Extend his loan for another season. If he can keep his nose clean for anothr year, then let him fight for a place on the team. He has talent.
