I’ve given up on him. I don’t even bother looking for his name in the squad anymore. He’s a shoulder shrug of a player, a complete afterthought. I spent his first couple of years here defending him from those I’d felt had made their minds up too quickly but enough is enough.
  He may have a lot of talent but I’d rather have a player with less ability and more availability. To think we will be losing our most reliable midfielder in the summer and expecting this lad to step up in some way. It’d be hilarious if it wasn’t so damn tragic. What is it about us having incredibly talented lads that have had their careers curtailed by injury. Jones, Fowler, Owen, Sturridge. All of them could have achieved much more with us.    It isn’t his fault as he’s clearly got problems but we haven’t seen enough from him even when he’s been available on the pitch. 

If I remember correctly, he usually played in a two man midfield, or sometimes he would play in attacking midfield with someone else, behind a striker. Like in 3-4-2-1 as part of the 2.

Bant them in the custard, beat the living shite out of them, make that dribble chinned cunt Kane cry again and make Maureen choke on his bargain booze Rioja the special cunt!

Surely we can completely rebuild him for $6m?
