Indeed. At Parma and in 2005-2006, he was very, very good and had world class potential I could even say. He just failed totally to replace Shevchenko in 2007 and that destroyed his confidence, forever.
I was, and I am not convinced. He was very good @ Parma, and then kinda sucked after that. Has been in gradual decline since. If he is our idea of a quality, world class signing, then this club is fast becoming a sick joke.
