Gudjohnsen Tells Of 'Full Of Himself' City Star

Eidur Gudjohnsen has told of how he rates Potters boss Tony Pulis, the clubs facilities and the squad, apart from one member of the side who 'seemed destined to make this a hard stay for me'.

Gudjohnsen only made five appearances, all from the bench, during his stay with the Potters, which ended last night when the former Chelsea and Barcelona star joined Fulham for the rest of the season after he struggled to get match fit after arriving from Monaco severely out of shape.

The Icelandic icon has today been talking with a radio station in his homeland and had the following to say.

"Stoke is a very decent club but it just didnt work our for me there," said Gudjohnsen.

"The first day I went there I felt something. This was a club I could see myself at and I knew I had to change my playing style and I was very happy when I signed. But after a while I knew something wasnt right, I was away from my family and that made it harder."

"I worked really hard on the training ground but I was getting no game time, so it always felt like I was starting from scratch as each weekend went by. I kept telling myself, all I need is to start one game and i'll show the real me. But it never happened sadly."

"There are some good players at Stoke and the manager is a good premiership manager, however there was one individual who seemed determined to make this a hard stay for me. I have played alongside and trained with Messi, Henry, Ronaldinho, Drogba and others but I have never met an individual so full of himself. If I bumped into him at the training ground, I was worried he would literally explode. And frankly that got on my nerve, he will never be a Messi and he will never play for Barcelona or win the Champions League."
