Not made the squad since Jan says it all.

The Bradford game was a last-chance it seems looking at it now. A bold and brave decision by Lambert...which utterly failed sadly. I still maintain that signing Ireland whilst we had no manager was the worst decision ever made under the Lerner regime. Yes, even worse then THAT decision!

Yes, even worse then THAT decision!I would say in hindsight probably, essentially 8 million in fee off the Milner money, plus 3.5 million a season in wages, for 4 seasons. 22 million ish.The Given, NZogbia, Hutton, Jenas, McLeish 12 months might just run it very close though in terms of cash being pissed down the drain like a drunk without control.

Are you sure?I was trying to recall if he had played since Bradford when we were discussing the Bradford second leg on the highs and lows and I don't reckon he would have played in that had literally any other option been available. Not signed Sylla yet and no Westwood, plus injuries made it impossible to leave him out. Otherwise I think the Wigan game, where he was not even close to being an apology for a footballer, would have been his last.
