Clearly got in with the wrong crowd. They are only money grabbing hangers on, who wont be within a million miles of him when he's broke, because he will be broke in the future. His agent was also a money grabbing tw*t that went out of his way to destabilize the lad. Yet another example of potential giving way to utter greed. These youngsters get too much, way too soon. Unless they have a steadying hand around them they have no hope, particularly if they aren't clue'd up in the first place. The fact he fell out at Albion in such a bad way, only to be shipped out to Stoke, and to then continue with such appalling behavior, shows how immature the boy is. One day he may look back and reflect on his life, but alas it will be too late to save his rapidly deteriorating football career. If he wants to stay in the game once he leaves Stoke, he is going to have to accept a huge pay cut i imagine. Can his ego allow that?? Time will tell. I actually believe there was a very good footballer in there somewhere, but fear we will never find out now.
