Selective memory. After his first season with us he then went to the papers trying to force a move to Hull City crying we were pricing him out of a move. He then got done early in his second season for drink driving and fleeing the scene of an accident and was in and of court for a few months. He was also a bit of a pissed up nuisance around town giving it Charlie big spuds and got into a scrape or two with City fans.
We also resigned Chopra that summer and he banged in 21 goals that season so no one was complaining. We signed Bellamy the following year so people definitely were complaining when he was eventually sold.
Maybe leaving Cardiff when he did was the best thing that could have happened to his career. He was young, fucked up a couple of times, was knocked down a peg or two and so he knuckled down and has had a very good last 4.5 seasons after a slow start to his time at Leeds. Again I didn't hear anyone complaining the first year or so at Leeds when he wasn't pulling up any trees.
I wish him the best and do look out for him as I liked him as a player but let's have a bit of balance here before we go slagging off Jones and the club.
