Oldham by all accounts.
He really wasn't woeful, no-one else scored the kind of goals he did. And please don't forget they were all under pressure! His goal at Peterborough the other season was absolutely sublime!
he was absolutely dog-**** last season. when he was on loan he played well, but it was down-hill from there. Like others, I'm surprised he's found a team in the football league, because he has poor technique and can't pass a football. A couple of good goals doesn't make him a good footballer.
Now hold on young sir. Surely Macca has proved you don't need to be able to pass a ball to make it as a football league player!

One of the worst players Ive ever had the misfortune too see. He was woeful defensively, couldnt read a game, couldnt play a pass and for a big lad was soft in the air and on the deck.
Surprised he has found a club to be fair, im sure the non contract terms says it all!
I think Sawyer would make any central midfield partner look adequate !
Spot on sir! I'm glad someone recognises that he was woeful defensively as well as on the ball. I think its often assumed that just because a midfielder plays deep and has not much ability, that they therefore shield the defence and break up the attacks etc. JFC was actually very poor at this and I lost count of the number of times an oppostion midfielder scored from outside the box with JFC unable to get there.
Also he was no better when he was on loan, that was down to the brilliance of Sawyer, I mean Gridelet even looked good for a spell alongside Whelan. I dont think JFC would have declined that much for no reason if he was any good, so I think last years performances were the norm, I struggle to think of a player who was a worse passer of the ball.
He shouldn't last too long at Oldham
