Running down his contract, knackered ankles, a.nd replaced with a record transfer, who I have never seen play,who people round here seem to think is the second coming of Christ(a large percentage of whom, I suspect, have never seen him player either). Even had an extra letter in his surname.
I get what your saying, on his day , when fit and on it, he's a magnificent footballer. But he's rarely fit and on it, wanted to go, wasn't what you would call a star player at the time of his sale, certainly not in the context of the post I quoted, and we are arguably stronger now for his leaving.
In my opinion, of Course.
