Hes the one player i got wrong... i genuinely thought he had more (infact i know he does, you dont get player of the year at Villa ahead of Ashley Young, and make endless assists for Bent and co. without having some quality). Hes a heads up player (looks where hes crossing the ball to) which is why i liked him.
It appears to be a mental thing with him.. people at Villa stated hes a bit of a chicken sh1t, lacks belief, and moving to us has possibly been too much for him. Some players rise to the expectations, some shrink. Kenny is the type who gets the best out of these kind of individuals so its a worry why he has yet to do it.
is right.
at the end of the day you either rise to the challenge when you come here or you wilt under the pressure. when push comes to shove it doesn't really matter if henderson put in so many great crosses last year for sunderland when they weren't really under pressure. same for downing at villa or carroll at newcastle. when players come here the pressure and the scrutiny is magnified tenfold.
it's one of my biggest bugbears in football when i hear clueless fans and pundits going on about how players are better suited because they're "premiership proven". it's a load of guff. these are probably the same people who claimed that david silva was "too lightweight" when he went to man city.
