How on earth has he got another club? He's barely played for 3 years and has less than 150 appearances in 10 seasons.

Even at Scunthorpe's level, I wouldn't be touching him with a bargepole as it's clearly more than ability as to why he's played so little.

 

Don't forget Scunthorpe are now in the part-time National League North - 2 divisions below us.

It's about his level IMO.

 

I'm not sure it's even that high. He struggled badly at the level above and was binned off very early into his deal there.

 

Hard to belive that Scunthorpe have fallen so far so fast.I remember some good battles with them,and not that long ago.

 

Yeah, it's a shame really. I'd much rather be going there and Oldham than the artificially grown Forest Green and Salford's of this world.

 

Just thinking the same , not forgetting our old foe Bury!

 

That's not very nice mate.

 

To think he played in the Championship for 3 seasons for Bolton, and in the Belgium Premier League for Beveren..

 

That's massively misleading.

He only made 9 appearances in those 3 seasons at Bolton and I would wager most, if not all were sub appearances.

In Belgium he appeared just twice.

 

And yet he was an almost ever present in midfield for Salford before he came to us. Sorry for the guy.

 

From reports it does seem he has a few mental health issues and failing in your chosen profession can't be easy, so I feel a bit for him but unfortunately, as he is, he's not worth a place in our squad. He knows that and it must be a hard thing to come to terms with, so I feel a bit sorry for him too.

 

Because he's still a human and he's struggled massively with mental health issues. I hope he can find a club that he can regain some form as he was a good player before his move to Belgium

 

Apparently he has returned home and signed for Bury after being released by Torquay after 21 games and captaining them last season.

I'm assuming he still couldn't give a schitt and is still just trying to rob anyone that will offer him a wage?

 

Must have done ok last year to play 21 times and be captain

 

10 appearances a year on average since leaving City and averages about 17 a season over his full career.

He's certainly doing "ok" from football but I'm not sure the clubs would agree that they've done "ok" out of him.

 

to be honest I’ve not looked at what happened at Morecambe the year before but the whole club was a bit of a shocker so who knows. I was just saying he must have been playing ok last season to be made captain
