He started off well for us but then was injured for a bit and well our season didn't take long to turn into a total disaster. Was smart him going to Everton rather than just going back to France or somehwere else random on loan like say Jean Seri of Fulham going to play in Turkey.

He had a release clause in his deal for 7m so I presume he had similar in his Everton deal given the lowish fee (although he is 29 now)
.
Nah, no release clause. Just a gentlemen's agreement. We didn't want him to go in January but promised that we would let him go in the summer if PSG came back in for him. As i said previously he didn't kick up a fuss but put his head down and was our best performer from January - May. Cracking player and bloke and i'm gutted he left but he really deserved a few years in the CL as he has proven tonight. :cool:

Always been a quality player. A specialist player. He's very valuable to a team that can compensate for what he doesn't have.

Lille really has an eye to find good players. Debuchy, Gueye, Cabaye, Mavuba, Hazard, Gervinho, etc
