hi guys,

i think majority of us already know about this lad. he is a very flamboyant forward with a great left foot. his goal scoring record for championship and lower league is good. currently playing for bristol city, and will be at play off final at wembley. if bristol got promoted, do you guys think that he will performed well??

and why he is still stuck in lower league with the great talent he had? gianluca vialli praised him a lot in his book.

his video..

Too old. I think he is 30 or 31.

I know this player since 5 years ago.... he's been linked to premiership teams...

a very creative player.. and also one of the most underrated player in the lower division...

Agreed. I doubt any of the top sides would want him. Perhaps one of the newly promoted sides looking to battle against relegation, needing a stop gap forward.

he's a scouse...if everton or liverpool dont even care bout him,i dont think he's gud enuff

doubt that he could perform all those skills in BPL... defenders will watch him closely...
lower leagues r still a better stage for him...

nah.. dun think he'll be any good in epl. needs speed and strength as well to make the grade. or else he'll become another gregorz rasiak (?spelling). good skill tho.

Aiseh ...aging jo

nvr play for top division b4 .... but he scored a lot for swansea

how bout Freddy Eastwood ?? he's gud aslo big fish in d small pond
awwwwwwww need luck leh

Or as a fourth choice striker at teams like Wigan, Bolton...

based on the video i think he's an opportunist, he jz shoots everytime he gets a chance...
n the more u shoot - the more likely u're going to score...

From the video it looks like he has good ball control but premiership is a whole different ball game. The pace is more faster than championship football...

he just scored
good left foot

Can't give much comment just on the videos seen on youtube. Youtube is only highlighting the special moments of a footballer, more than often it makes players like Titus Bramble and Igor Stepanovs looked good.

Anyways, for the benefit of the doubt, he does have good skills, a lil bit of showboater, likes to beat defenders and will get the crowd going. Reminds me so much of Jay Jay Okocha who loves to entertain the crowd. He does look like huge guy so i'm not sure how will he cope with the pace and intensity of EPL.

Anyways, i've always liked skillful players who showboats occasionally in games. I know managers hates this but what's football without this kinda players. Looking forward to see him in EPL games.

He has the skills but if you notice, there's no end product. Don't think he is BPL standard. Anyways, Bristol will play in the final of the play-offs and lets see how well he does then.

Ya, total agree with you. No end product...he lacks finishing.....

his volleys r good...

nice player...
i never watch he played before.good left foot...

yeah, with that skills that he had, i wonder why none of the top managers want to buil up on the basic that he had.. in my opinion, if he is at lest 5 years younger, and some good manager bought him and trained the things that he lack, i'm pretty sure he will be one of england 1st choice striker. but then again, at the age of 30, he is not even called up, although he is eligible to represent republic of ireland as well. so there might be something wrong with this player. look forward to see him in action at the playy off final.

he will be a decent signing for the likes of fulham and bolton

i think its still best if he stay wif the low profile teams like the newly promoted ones...
onli like that the team's attack will be based on him, n he'll get more balls to work with...
