A true pro and one of my favorites, shame his legs weren't there after a while.
Wish him the best and good luck!

You don't like your countryman?Its like...he is giving his all for best free agency position, feel sorry for who ever gets scammed.
Cynic in me, but he did this last time when he wanted a contract.Played great after he announced he was leaving. Great player
Correct that's my take on this as wellCynic in me, but he did this last time when he wanted a contract.
@R'hllor should answer that part.Says a lot about this guy that he knew he wanted out a long time ago. None of that indecisive shite to fish around for the best contract/most money "I want to speak to ETH first" bla bla bla.
Hope he goes someplace with bad referees so he can continue kneeing players in the balls.
Was it once or twice?How he got his last contract extension says a lot about this guy indeed.
Think it was once, under Ole, it was also dragged into his last few months. So his age when he joined plus initial contract from JM, yea only one extension i believe, maybe they triggered +1 but thats itWas it once or twice?

What's the context here? He said something in an article/interview?How he got his last contract extension says a lot about this guy indeed.
The thing is, the praise he gets during those good spells has always been on the money. During those good spells he reaches a level of all round central midfield play (in attack and defence) that we haven’t seen since Carrick was in the team. Only possible exception being Fred on a very good day. None of the rest of them come close.Basically every season he's been here goes the same way. He has a period in the season where he plays well and lots of people start saying that he's our best midfielder. However they completely forget that his good period only lasts for about two months, and for the other 80% of the season he's poor and struggles badly with keeping up with the pace of the game.
The only season that hasn't gone like that was his very first, and even that was only 50% good and 50% bad.
Yeah, I would agree with that. He was a very good central midfielder who had his best days before joining us, but during those short periods of form he was still able to showcase a good level. If he'd been able to show that more consistently, preferably also while having a bit more mobility, he would have been a vital player for us over these years.The thing is, the praise he gets during those good spells has always been on the money.
