You mean 'Negrito' is not a nice little epithet as we were led to believe. I am not surprised, but I don't care. Frankly the most important thing about him is that he is a great player who'd I only wish was with us. The only personality aspect that worries me about any player is how he gets on in the dressing room. Look at Diouff a so called pariah who has done OK by us. I think footballers should be judged by their footballing abilities, which includes their contribution to the team.
