Yeah, he is a talent but for other clubs he's a gamble. I hope he stays.

Against my better judgement at the start of May this year I Emailed the FA with a note entitled FAO Fabio Capello and told him in no uncertain terms if England really wanted to win the World Cup then he needed to take Jay Bothroyd and Peter Whittingham to South Africa.
Whittingham would have solved England's long held left-hand side of midfield problem plus he would add a quality free-kick penalty taker and goals to the squad. Jay Bothroyd would have been the perfect foil for Wayne Rooney and if that didn't work out I suggested having Michael Chopra on the bench.
The ignorant tw*t didn't reply or take up my advice. I have no problem now gloating at England's dismal failure knowing I had given their manager the keys to the World Cup only for him to duly throw the golden opportunity down the drain.
What a tosser.

This doesn't seem quite so extreme given the complete and utter failure of the twats that did play in South Africa I certainly don't think they could have been any less effective
If you detect a hint of bitterness it can be explained by the fact that in a moment of madness I put £20 on England bloody winning the thing
