It was always a mystery to me. On one hand we had a young prospect, who we apparently wanted to stay and on the other we had someone finding contract extensions in his locker (Tonge) for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
A debacle if you ask me.

If Pulis wanted him to stay, the fucking hell did he play the myriad of shit on the wing that he did? It was one of the key things that killed him here. The thing is Bayern, I don't actually think anyone thought he was going to be the permanent answer to the wing problem, but everyone apart from Pulis and Tazi could see he was a better option than the plethora of wank he persisted with. Tazi was still suggesting that our best right back option was Lewis Buxton at this time, even though he was no longer with us. H In fairness H, Bucko scored top marks on the Duckworth - Tazi Method of player and manager rating that is applied where football is not an option. It is a method he applies to all things Stoke City

It happened more than that and seemed quite a regular thing for shoring up the right flank when we were 1-0 down. The season after we were treated to Kightly, Adam, an ever increasingly knackered and shite Jon Walters, and every increasingly injured and shite Matty Etherington on the wing. Lets be honest, his not replacing Ethers and Pennant cost the bloke big time! I think that's the point, he may have been asked to play the position, but in no sense of the word could he actually fulfil the requirements of the "winger" position.

As he left us, he went on to have a great season and was scoring 30-35 yarders galore in the FA Cup. Then he settled down a little, but as mp says he's having a really good season. Seems to be their main creative outlet and (again) I agree that he didn't get the chance he deserved. when you say "Was scoring 30-35 yarders galore in the FA cup" are you referring to the 1 goal he's ever scored in the FA cup in his entire career? nothing like massively over egging things is there? Only 1? The other couple must've been league goals my mistake. - here's a few.
