Although he is 33 this is not a plea for OGS to sign him.
As i was slowly losing interest in the second half of the derby i started thinking about midfielders we used to have and this man popped into my mind, he was incredible when he played for us in 2011 he was like a Toure/Viera player he was so creative but then gradually got turned into a defensive player towards the end of his loan spell with us. What i dont understand is why did we not make an effort to sign him? I think if we were to of signed him he would still be playing regular football in are team today! I personally feel that if he was with us he would of brought so much strength to are midfield partnering with Medel, perhaps we need someone like him?

He was injured most of the season after we sent him back to Hull.

He was brilliant when he came in, looked the part and slotted in well. Some great performances and bullied the opposition, he was a defensive midfielder player anyway, difference was DJ allowed a CDM to push forward is necessary which was part of his midfield in terms of attacking.

I think he weren't good enough in the end, Championship is not his standard due to his fitness.
