Wonderful goal that wasn't enough to save football's reputation.
Stings a bit that we sold him for about £2m!
It will be interesting to see what happens should Southampton not go up. They paid £12m for him, and I could see a newly promoted side, or low-mid table side, happily paying £20m for him. He's stepped up with goals and assists at every level he's played (except international, but he only has 14 caps so far), so I definitely think he could play higher.
His potential is possibly limited by his lack of pace and/or physicality, which might be why we decided to cash in when we did, but there is no denying he has really good ability, and with the ball at his feet, he is Premier League level.
