When he's on the pitch he's everything a manager could hope for: committed; the proverbial goal machine. It's behind the scenes that he (or more likely his agent/owner) draws trouble. The only club in England where he's ever really been loved is West Ham, even when he's come back to play against us. We'd obviously never get him again but it's sad he's leaving English football altogether. Although he apparently hated living here. Mind you, he only said that after leaving London to move to Manchester (so it's perfectly understandable).
