Whetever happened to him? He hasn't been playing recently, has he?

I thought he used to be good.

Coming up to 18 years since we signed Jermaine Pennant, which I noticed last night as he signed for Bury

I wonder if he's learnt to read yet?

That was my first thought. Clearly not if he's signed for Bury. "Just initial here, J, it will be fine"

So on the whole would we say Theo has been a success or not?

So on the whole would we say Theo has been a success or not?

He has sort of been OK. Not as good as one might have hoped, but not bad, either.

So on the whole would we say Theo has been a success or not?

Not, sadly.

We've paid enough money in fees and wages that you would expect a player who has had more of an impact on our club than he has.

11 years in the first team squad, a regular starter (injuries permitting) for much of that time.

Not too shabby, I'd say. Put it this way, had that been my career, I'd have been well pleased with it.

The latter cost more from memory and indubitably has been even less of a success than the new coffee machine earning straight backed wing "I want to be a striker" wizard.
