I'm managing Blackburn and I haven't trained/guided him in any specific way; I have just played him a lot and he is immense now (2012) and still improving.
He is very cheap at the start of the game (425k!!!!!) and will do a GREAT job for any top division team.
I have him for newcastle after a season of first team football and the tutoring of alan smith he is desperate to leave with arsenal and villa bidding 14m
