I gave him the benefit of the doubt to begin with and liked the fact that MR played him a lot, even if it was to see if he deserved another years contract.
However, in those games under MR he didn't shine, whether that was lack of movement from others, him not getting the ball often enough or he just found his level of performance?
For me I'm glad he didn't get a new contract with us as I believe MR has something up his sleeve (signs another player in the no.10 role) and didn't fancy him, but I am glad that he's sorted himself out with a club.
