it would be great if you read my posts properly before replying, its just it saves me having to repeat things time after time. firstly, he's not young, he's 24, he's had plenty of time to produce the goods.. fair point about getting used to the PL and his leg break, he did score a class goal but i refuse to accept a player is brilliant after a handful of games, otherwise you're forgetting 6-8 years of his career and focussing on the last few months.. there is most certainly a question of whether he is fulfilling his talent, if he had, then he'd be at a higher placed club, as he hasnt thats why he's at newcastle, thats the reason marseille didnt want him, they decided he wasnt worth the hassle, its like the balotelli thing, if he wasnt producing he would have been shipped out in 5 minutes, but he is producing so they've kept him.. finally, as a player with an attitude problem, a big ego, if he does become a quality player he will be gone as soon as a bigger club come in, he'll go on strike, sure you'll get a profit but you wont have him for long if thats the case..
