Players develop at different rates. He peaked early.

He is the classic example of an athlete first footballer second. He always had to really concentrate on EVERYTHING he did with the ball, it never came naturally.

Had a lot of the attributes that suggested he could make it, but for me lacked one very important one in that he never really looked comfortable on the ball and calm in possession. Always seemed a bit panicky. Was great at getting about the pitch and winning the ball, but then looked just as likely to give it away again.
Bloody good goal against Swindon though!

I don't think his highly publicised court case, for smashing a bouncer over the head with a bottle, helped. I can remember at the time when he broke into the first team, Liverpool were reportedly interested. Incredible!
Is it PotG?

I'm still waiting for the 'world class player, used in the wrong position'.

he definitely had something. He was such a natural athlete and I think had he worked harder on some of the technical attributes that he needed he would have been a very good player
as others had said, he never looked in any way comfortable in possession, BUT that could have been worked on, and with his insane physical attributes he wouldn't have had to have been THAT good on the ball....just a bit

midfield did expose his lack of composure on the ball, BUT his poor heading ability and lack of positional sense would have been an issue at the back
his main skill was rampaging around the pitch and putting in crunching tackles using his telescopic treetrunk legs
Feel a little sorry for him. When he first played he was great, then went off the boil and never recovered.
Liverpool were watching him and that tackle on Sanchez vs Arsenal......
Had a few personal issues I believe, which couldn’t have helped

Brighton progressed faster than he did once CH came to the Club. He got left behind.
If he had been good enough he would have survived the " Cull" - Plenty others did like Dunk, Bruno, Baldock, March and Calderon.
I thought he was a decent prospect who was harmed by the way the club was being run. This was the "shoe-string era" under Burke and although he played about 60 times in 2 seasons, I think it came a bit too early for him on account of the fact that we were signing dross like Gary Gardner as opposed to Beram Kayal.
In more recent times, he'd have spent more time out on loan to help his progression before going into the first team. He had no games under his belt (well 2 at Yeovil) before being thrown into a decent Championship side (Garcia) and then an awful one (Hyypia). Whether it would have made much of a difference? Who knows? But I think he was one of a number of youngsters that didn't benefit from our set up at the time.

He was never a good player. Keith Andrews was brilliant that season for us, he played midfield on his own. He had JFC and Ince with him but despite that, we made the play-offs and he was the player still putting in 100% in the second half of that second leg thrashing at Derby.
