What might have been if we'd been able to keep Igor fit and had not sold Yann. They would've been a potent pairing with JBG and Bulot (when he finally settled) providing the ammunition. As has been said many times before, briefly putting aside all the off the field damage that was done, it was such a missed opportunity in the early part of the Roland years when we already had some good players, and bought a few more, but never quite went the extra steps to build a truly coherent squad (and appoint a properly qualified manager). It needn't have cost that much more to make us into a side capable of challenging for the play-offs in the championship.
Thought he looked promising until suddenly got drained by the extra games in England. Then strangely talked of needing to recover from going up for headers. Started getting niggles to go with the fatigue, which never stopped him playing for Angola when he'd been out for us.
Didn't feel like he could be bothered to take on the load after that, deep sighs about the amount of games here in interviews.

Not sure what you are on about. He got an achilles injury and was pushed back to play when he clearly wasn't fit. Not sure he ever recovered properly, certainly not for us.
A real shame about the injuries because he had it all - quick, strong, good finisher, decent in the air for a relatively short striker & could use both feet. I’d imagine he would have scored a hell of a lot more than 83 career goals if he could have stayed fit.
