Or thane said that 'he can be lazy'. He's hardly written the player off. He's just said that he would be great to sign even if he can be lazy. Fairly reasonable. Same as Josh Perry.

He's just said the player is prone to picking and choosing his moments. He's also said his performance nosedives if the coach moves him from his preferred position. It's reasonable to speculate the former might just be related to the latter and he has an attitude problem - but all this is kind of academic:

Does this sound like a champion player?

What I meant was we've missed out on another quality forward. Yeah he can be lazy sometimes which has put a few coaches off, but 9 times out of 10 he's awesome. I was saying Catalans have signed a mint player I wish we had signed.
