Makes you wonder why with all that talent a big club hasn't taken a gamble on him. Is it just down to character and attitude?
It is.
His stinks.
Based on what? Falling out with Bryan Robson, who after Steve McClaren, is probably the biggest waste of air in the world of football management.
Just to reiterate, Koumas was their player of the season. Bryan Robson decided he wasn't 'pulling his weight' so farmed him out to Cardiff, where he scored 13 goals in 44 appearances. He then went back, signed a new contract, battled for his place and is now their player of the year again.
Tha doesn't strike me as a particularlt bad attitude.
Im not saying i dont want to sign him, i do, ive sad that all along. 6m is abit steep, but I digress...
He does have a bad attitude, its shown when things don't go his way. He demanded a move form baggies when they went down, then out of the blue stopped going to training sessions. I'll think of more incidents later, but that IS why he hasn't moved yet, managers have heard about this lack of discipline. Bit of a melon all in all. Hopefully hes grown up.
As a player I'd love to see him just given license to roam in a kind of 4-4-1 behind the front man. He would absolutley rip teams apart.
