He started well this season but had many bad games recently, and I think he is definitely one of those players who can't wait for new season to start. I don't think he is the quality we need at the moment, but I think people are writing him off too early, I think he will come good.
He's definitely cost too much though, but that's what you get with our negotiator at the club, it's not surprising at all. If someone else was interested as much as we were I reckon they would get him for at least 10 million less.
