Fair enough, as I said, never saw him play for them. But I was told he performed very well for them.
Not the first good full-back that Allardyce didn't rate btw.
One of their best players in the reserves was he?
You're a very funny guy. He made 18 first team starts for Blackburn last season. I don't think I ever saw him play so I can't say further than that.
Not saying it's gospel or owt but as I've said before my one Blackburn supporting mate said he was one of their best players last season. He knows his football and i fully expect him to be able to at least pull his weight in the premiership.
Berbatov's a brilliant player but not suited to playing with Rooney as they cancel each other out somewhat.
It would be mad to write him off though, stick him up front with a Torres type and he'd absolutely shine.
I watched him play some decent passes in 3 games. Not a great deal to go on but enought to convince me that he has more passing ability than Smith, Butt and Nolan.
