Wouldn't surprise me! After all he'd a shocking time of it at Portsmouth.
Anyway, I think its been posted he's injured. I know a lot of people can't stand him, for various reasons (perceived ****tiness, England underage caps), but for me the guy is as important, if not more important, a recall as Finnan.
Our current alternative at centre half is John O'Shea. Which isn't great. O'Brien has had an excellent season at Bolton, and is one of 2 players available to us playing centre half in top flight overseas football. have him back? Yes Please.
