Always thought he got a rew deal there anyway. Has a great work rate and bags of quality but never knew if he was in the side until matchday, and often wasn't. Compare this to Kuyt who has a great work rate and zero quality but is an ever present. Any idea who's interested in him? £9m is a decent fee for him though, he is 30 after all.
Edit: It ok, I found an article about it
