Coastie thats a bit harsh... hes still the best attacking mid in the a-league, great player from stat to finish in his career! hes been playing great football since before i was born and is a player that young guys should want to be like

ease up coastie, he was a general for the Sky Blues and played well overseas, he also represented the socceroos on a number of occasions. give him a break.
