aww I love Steed! One of the most technically gifted players around, pitty he is overlooked by the media. Fantastic talent.

Malbranque has joined St. Etienne as a replacement for Gelson Fernandes (formed Man City) who has joined Leicester City.

Agree with Kris.. Wonderfully gifted player. Was superb at Fulham, struggled at Spurs but was getting on a bit at Sunderland. Shame he was around in a time where the French midfield is packed with technically gifted midfielders.

agreed Kris, would have liked Steed and Laurent Robert to play together great players...

 

[Cal.]

Used to be a staple of my fantasy football teams until he joined a certain team, hopefully St Etienne works out for him.

Clearly he couldn't do well at a big club...

was a decent footballer, will do well in France.
