If the lads inept then blame the people that signed him. I'm sure he gives 100% on the training ground and whenever called on.He can't do more than that.
Admittedly he'd look more at home in League One.

I'm surmising Tarks will move on for decent money, even in the last year of his contract we should be able to garner £25-30m surely, and possibly Gibson will go to Norwich permanently for £8m or so, so we've got a pot of £30-40m to play with just by selling those two, Naieve really doesn't cover it.
