True, and I personnally think it was a great piece of thinking by Rafa or Parry.
I'd also welcome him back tomorrow, the way we are playing (at home) he'd score bagfuls. After all the negative football of the last few years, I can't remember him once doing a CISSE & throwing his arms about because of bad service & he he'd have had good reason to. He's a born winner & worked his socks off for the team, unlike some who I won't name & shame 'cause we all know who they are.
He might be available for a loan deal in January if things don't improve for him abroad. I think we & rafa will know a lot more about the squad & their limits by then so I'll keep an open mind until then.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Mike in the No 7 shirt for us next year, Hopefully!!!
