Think at the time the problem was finding his best position ....the midfielder wasn't obvious with the likes of edu! Gilberto, parlour, Pires, Llungberg still around.
At the time the one everyone was raving about as the next great thing from the Ivory Coast was Giles Yapi yapo....he's playing in Dubai now so you can't get them all right.
Shame we missed out after they let him go.
