Honestly, when he joined us he was never my choice.
I was always against him, however I would never abuse him.
They guy is a honest worker, and will try at the job. He did well for us, however he cannot control strong personalities and doesn't seem to be tactically aware. We have been crying out for a left winger for the last 3 seasons - he buys one and doesn't play him. Needless to see MON came in, played him and now hes at the Euros.
I think he will do well in the Championship, its his sort of level. I would only be worried about the formations he plays.
With regards to players he would buy from us...
Maybe Bramble, Turner, Meyler on loan, Wickham on loan? Unfortunately though I think Hull aren't good enough (in their eyes not mine) for some of our players.
