I remember him being very good in our side but struggled when the ball went over his head. Slow to turn around.

Replaced Corkuka with one of the best right-backs the Prem has seen.

I cannot be sure , but I think I used to go mental watching him play.

He had a very upright style of play. Looked elegant and indeed was, until he had to change direction quickly. Then it all seemed to unravel.

I liked him, but was unsure of his running style. Looked like he had a melon up his arse.

He played DM in an away match at Newcastle in 07/08 and it was possibly the best performance I had ever seen from a City player. For context, I was 22 or 23 at the time. He was spraying it everywhere and making them chase shadows.

I remember when we sold him that I was shocked we made a profit. Not because I didn't think he was worth more than we paid for him, but because we actually turned a (tiny) profit on a player we'd paid reasonable money for. I don't think that had happened before.

Might have been about paying tribute to Darijo Srna who retired a couple days ago.

Hé was a very elegant player. Good passer. Sadly no pace.

His pace was deceptive. He was slower than he looked

Skilful player but surely the slowest Rolls ever made
Selling him paid the wages didn't it? Those were the days
