I quite liked the guy when he was at Blackburn always looked dangerous. Never once did he look as good at ours. I still have no idea how he could have possibly passed a medical. Even my crock of a Dr. wouldn't have passed him.

He had one good season at Blackburn. Unfortunately I think that the speed of the prem agravated a few deep seated injuries which he's never fully recovered from.
I just wonder if he's not the only one that because of the physicality and speed of the prem develop deep routed injuries that stops them performing at the highest level again. Owen, Hargreaves and Rocky are the 3 that come to mind, all coming from Europe and all getting injured long term and unable to complete a full 90 minutes.

I'm sorry if this upsets a few Liverpool fans as well but TBH I can see Gerrard is beginning to develop the same niggling injuries. I'm sure other clubs can also think of players this has happened too

Its hard to believe but he was a good player before he was permanently knackered. Probably at his best for Hughes at Blackburn with McCarthy.

Mind its probably added another £10 on the asking price...by my estimation thats now £11 we should be looking for.

Fair enough. Yeah having watched him throughout the 07/08 season I can safely say he was awesome. His all-round game was streets ahead of Bellamy and McCarthy who'd been our massive hits in the previous seasons and most fans viewed him as our best striker since Shearer/Sutton. At the time none of us thought you were being ripped off in the slightest at £17m.

But of course thats ignoring the fact that 07/08 wasn't the norm, it was the exception and the only season of his career where he played more than 30 games. Shame really, always gonna be one of those players with who injury wasted a considerable talent.

When we played the Ravers that season at Eastlands we had won our previous 10 league games and were on a roll. RSC was brilliant that night and Blackburn became the first club to get as much as point off us at home at that stage.
I was delighted when we signed Roque but the Doctor who did his medical should be sued big time.

He should have his stethoscope cut off.
