Bouazza-luxury or starter?

Bouazza- Starter or luxury?  Hameur bouazza has been quoted in an Algerian newspaper as saying "I can confirm my divorce from Millwall," said Bouazza. "I've been unclear on why I've not been starting games. "I told the manager and chairman I'm good enough to play in their team with my eyes shut. "The manager hasn't given me reason. I need to find a club that believes in me." These comments came to light after the lions terrific win against burnley at turf moor in which bouazza played in  These comments if are translated correctly show complete complete arrogance on bouazzas part and that he should not disrespect the club that gave him a second chance of playing football in England. If bouazza felt any doubt about playing for the club he should have told manager kenny jackett that he wanted to move on.  Bouazza signed from Arles-Avignon on a short term deal during January 2011 and I'm sure millwall fans will remember his first goal for the lions, a thunderous strike against Middlesbrough. he went to play 12 games for the lions before the end of the season,mainly from the bench but kenny jackett rewarded the algerian winger with a permanent contract, which the majority of lions fans agreed with. Due to summer transfers bouazza was the only recognisable left winger in the lions squad, he started off the season well with some hard working displays, but a month later he started to fast during Ramadan which also lead too tired,slow games from him. Later on in the season jackett would try a different approach in his team, by playing left back Scott Barron in left wing.  Finally in January jackett bolstered his squad by signing Ryan mason from spurs on loan, and Andrew Keogh from wolves, who can both play on the wing. Some fine performances from both players left bouazza down the pecking order, also a injury somewhat dented his chances of a starting place.  From watching bouazza millwall fans will see that he does have a certain quality about him, but this do also lead to a certain arrogance with himself about his ability, this can also lead to attitude problems. 8 clubs in 9 years including loans shows it.  At times like this in the season millwall need 11 battlers,passionate players fighting tooth and nail for the team. And bouazza has a certain "swagger" about him that thinks hes actually better then he is, plays like he's going against Sergio ramos in Madrid, no the left wing down the den. And for these reason I believe bouazza should go or left to rot in the reserves, to show that no-one is bigger then the club, and don't bite the hand that feeds you. But overall, it's jackets choice.
