It's possible that the move to Rovers could give him a new lease of life and a good start may give him a much needed confidence boost.
I just can't see how new found confidence is going to give him any pace or the ability to run in behind defenders. He will certainly give lots of free kicks away from fouls and offsides.
Time will tell, but I doubt he is the missing link to turn Rovers into title winners
EDIT - He may even be less effective against typical european teams

Going by what I've seen so far, none of the two sides look like anything to be afraid of. But then, with City's current form, the same could be said...
Cardiff Met 2-1 Progrès Niederkorn. Progrès progress on away goals.
Can any Rovers fan who went to Luxembourg a few years back recommend a decent pub for City fans?
I can from our 2010 trip, Scotts Bar in the old town, overlooking a river and a nice medieval style tower / castle, short walk from the city centre (which is quite small around the main train station). It was decent spot to set up camp, was a good few photos doing the rounds at the time, flags drapped over the high walls, nice spot. One bigger spot across the road too, not sure what it was called, seem to recall Scotts for day time and the one over the road a bit more lively for night time, one thing I recall from both trips, the friendliest city I've been too. The cops were even drinking ! (non alco they said) at half time in the bar, really relaxed scene.
There is also a big open plaza with loads and loads of tables around that city centre area, I think behind the train station, nice for food, but not cheap, but you're on holiday !
I was over on a work trip in 2016 and I was curious so wondered around to Scotts Bar again, still going strong.

#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
I travel to Lux for work semi regularly, though not in the last couple of years. Annoyingly I'll be going again in August, I was really hoping for Cardiff! Scotts is a decent bar, my personal favourite is the Updown bar which is cut into the face of the cliff. There are some decent bars, but beer choice in general is very poor, especially considering the proximity to Germany and Belgium. For example the Big Brewing Company who served two styles of beer the last time I was there.
The Grund area in general is probably the best place for City fans to float around.
I was six days in Luxembourg in 2016 after the game switching from a Thursday to Tuesday. It is the most boring country on earth and the local beer boferding isn’t the tops. The only perks are the public transport is top notch and you can visit France or Germany in a hour if staying any length of time.
Thanks for the replies, folks. Is that place Scott's in Lux City or out near Niederkorn?
Joker bar in Dudelange is ok if there's a few of ye there pre-match.
It'll be empty enough otherwise, but it's walkable
Ah. Ignore so!
Is it only Dundalk being televised or is Cork or Rovers on? I'm guessing the norwegians will televise it?
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
