Like I mentioned in another thread, I can see him getting a about the same playing time as he got in Madrid where he made 18 starts and came on as a sub 16 times in the league and scored 13 goals.
That would be a more than good enough return and with the quality we have in the team he will get the chances he need to score these goals.
So I voted yes, even if I wanted him sold two years before we actually sold him last time around.

That was 4 or 5 years ago then and he has gone downhill since then. I don't think you could rely on him to be fit for those 34 matches. He played in 32 matches for Newcastle this season and that was pretty much whenever he was fit. the chances of all of those plus a couple more coinciding with when Rafa wanted to play him would be remote. that said, a pay as you play contract would carry virtually no risk.
I can see him going to City.
