Yip, he was awful for us.
But he can't always be as bad as that otherwise he wouldn't still be on the books of a PL club aged 26.
And he did quite well on loan at Sheffield United the season before his loan with us and helped them get promoted from league one.
I'm not predicting he'll be a success at Rochdale but don't think it's a given that he'll be a disaster either. Time will tell.
Last season when I had a lot more time on my hands, I was so frustrated by how poor we were I decided to watch through all of the highlights of every game and see why we conceded the goals we did.
EEL was head and shoulders ahead of the rest of the pack for giving away penalties, individual errors, missing clearances, being out of position etc.
I remember when we first signed him on loan, Sheffield United fans were saying how great he was to start with and then became a liability towards the end - turns out they were right but fortunately for them they had such a great squad around him to make up for how shite he was. Unluckily for us, we also had Wootton who was pretty poor last season too.
Genuinely deserves a spot in our worst ever 11.
