I watched him playing for Marseille a few times, and he really didn't show the talent that he possess. I thought that being a French speaker, he would fit in there well, but it didn't happen. To my mind he is basically a winger with outstanding pace, who can cut in from the wing to score some goals. However, as Marseille were finding goals difficult to come by, he was asked to play as a central striker often. He looked lost, and when pulled off didn't seem that happy, but not too bothered either. I suspect that he wasn't that happy in France, but it will be interesting to see who makes a bid for him.

He never seemed happy or part of the squad almost .

Shy and maybe aloof ?

No agree .

Did have the odd good moments but spent a lot of time cutting inside or trying to score a wonder goal /fall over .
I often wondered about his habit of cutting inside - ie was he told to play that way? For a left winger he spent an awful lot of time trying to get the ball onto his right foot - I can't really remember him putting over too many crosses with his left.

Probably.

A lot of wingers do seem to play on their wrong side and told to cut in .
