We are nothing more than mid table club right now and his attitude seems proper - so having him around while rebuilding looks like easy decision.
Yes we are the new Fulham. Rebuilding? He’s 31 , his legs are going, he’s here for a fucking retirement payday which being a spineless shambles of a club we’re going to give him.

And the mugs on TFC will celebrate that. We actuallly are now Fulham.

:contehmm:
 
Look, he had a great game yesterday even if you take the goal out. He did a lot of good things and showed some fight. He was our best player by a mile. But, he's been gash for weeks now, hence why he has been dropped. I am pretty sure he will be back to his normal 5/10 performances from Saturday with the odd 7/10 or 8/10 every half a dozen games. We've got him for the rest of the season. If there was an alternative I would send him back to Bayern but there isn't. However, if we are going into next season with him in our squad I will be massively dissapointed and I dare say with this board that is where I am likely to end up.
 
I’m unsure whether to sign him, but I think a large issue with have is the balance of the midfield. If he were to play alongside Bergvall and Xavi then we could afford his shortcomings on the ball, and defensively is the best midfielder in our squad. When we play him next to Gray or Bentancur we look poor. I would swap him for Bentancur if I had a choice.

Like others responded already, we are in worse state than Fulham.

And for each rebuild you need couple older players that will help young guys with their experience and attitude. Once we are ready to challenge things again he will be surplus I agree, but sadly it won't happen in year or two.
