If we had already committed to Macheda and Brandao and with other names potentially in the hat, then maybe the coaches thought it was an unnecessary purchase.......I watched him a few times and although he was tidy I didn't think he added anything to the side. Remember, we also had David Williams at the time and he was scoring for fun!
Maybe Chelsea like him in a 451 set up while we didn't think he suited our 442 approach.
I wouldn't say we have let him slip through by any stretch.
