My mate in Norwich had this to say about Hoolahan... Tim W. "I think we signed him on the basis that he'd been the best player on the pitch whenever we'd played Blackpool. He's not really proved himself on the bigger stage and to be honest I'm not too sure if the more physical style in League 1 would be his cup of tea. He was a big fish in a small pond at Blackpool and not being the star player may be the reason for the lack of output so far. To be honst I'm surprised Roeder signed him given his preference for a bigger athletic type of player (like Wenger at Arsenal). He's a bit too easy to get off the ball, although we have used him to some effect in the hole behind a lone striker where he can drop off and receive the ball in space. He's a good passer and fancies himself as a dribbler, but he's not in the same class as Huckerby, who to some extent he was supposed to replace. I'd be surprised if we sold him, as it would in effect be an admission of failure by the manager and would provide further evidence to those of us of the opinion that the manager has no idea what he's doing". www.toellandback.org, an independent view of Leeds United.
