I'm not sure that's fair. He'd scored regularly in the top flight in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain and in the Premier League. Though he was never a 46 game a season man, and most of that was long before he rocked up at Oakwell.
I even thought Leroy Lita was a good signing, on paper lol. But obviously, we're getting those sort of players when they are way past their best, with just a few seasons left in them. The extra problem with Mido though was also his size, and total lack of fitness etc.
It was at home if memory serves. I think he had a cycling machine out before he came on. Mind you the memory is foggier than the one on the tyne...
