It's a shame Capel wasn't part of the deal

So Zoko's gone to greet the rain in Spain. I, unlike some, certainly won't be missing him.



It's not that he didn't try, it's just that a certain sports journalist by the name of Gabriele Marcotti told the world how great Zokora was, and that was even before we had lodged a bid for him.



So there I was, listening to Marcotti rant and rave about a world class player called Didi Zokora. Next thing I know, we signed the fella.



Marcotti must have been talking about another Didier Zokora. Strange that; seeing as the player Marcotti was on about played for the Ivory Coast and for Saint Etienne.



Hasn't it happened to you? You're told to go and watch this amazing film and you're all hyped up about it as the critics are claiming it to be the best film out this year!



Then the disappointment sets in. The films rubbish. Well that's how I felt with Zoko. So much promise, but no end game.



We signed him as a replacement for the departed Carrick (oh how we still miss him).

If Diego Capel had been a part of the transfer sanctioned that took the Zoko to Sevilla, at least it would have gone some way to redeeming his move to us in the first place. Wishful thinking unfortunately.



So in a nutshell, am I disappointed that he's left? No. Are you?
