Because he was never given a proper chance.

You would have thought that he would have celebrated the goal considering it was a bit good.

I duno, was from a tight angle and he lobbed the keeper. Thought it was pretty impressive myself

Dont get me wrong, it was still a good goal. The way it all happened in super slo-mo took the impact off it

I always thought he was better than Blair Sturrock. Bit like a more rubbish version of Simon Cox really.

Actually that makes it sounds like Cox is rubbish. I don't think that at all. I think Arrieta was about average.

I think given a run in the team he could have been a decent League One striker.

Agree SAMDY....and he always worked his balls off.

Amazing how opinions change after he scores one impressive goal.  Most were in favour of getting rid.

I was thinking that Lady. When I saw him play in a couple of friendlies, I remember wanting to like him, but I don't think he ever really looked like a proper footballer. More like someone who could do bit's of the required ability, but didn't really look like he should be on the pitch.

That's probably bollocks, because as we all know I spent most of the couple of friendlies I went to queuing at the bar.

I've always said he was better than Blair Sturrock and certainly a better finisher.

Don't think you'd have him in a side aiming to get in the Championship. Same reason I'd get rid of Blair as soon as possible.

He scored a couple of good goals, but couldn't do anything else! He was slow, weak, couldn't control the ball, gave away fouls all the time... but he did spend a lot of time in the gym so he's alright by me.

Don't agree Si, I'd say there's an argument to say that in their last two appearances Blair has been our best striker.

It was I who touted the phrase "Mo Money, Mo Malpas" at the time of his appointment. It was meant to be a good thing, kinda ironic, but I think it's turning out to be a case of mo probs.

Hopefully the OG meaning will come into play with a fresh season.

He's done it again, this time against Dinamo Bucharest (not quite as spectacular this time)

His goal is the second one:  http://www.gsp.ro/stire/final-lovitura-de-teatru-in-groapa-2-1-pentru-pandurii-63142.html

Is it just me or does the cross for his goal look slightly odd? Like the guy has crossed it nearly in his stride?

See what you mean!
Has to be said that's nowhere near as good as his other
