I actually thought the torn groin against Man. United in the December was a turning point.It's restricted his movement and suddenly some of the shots he was getting to early on (Cabaye which was going into the top corner) he just can't reach anymore.Don't think he'll leave permanently, I think a season long loan somewhere with wages split is realistic.
Helped keep us up under McLeish, that save at the Borethorns was vital. However, considering his age and wages I would be delighted if he left, but unlike some players he would go with my thanks and best wishes.

Wasn't there one camera angle that actually showed the ball was over the line for that?There was a similar one he did in the 1-1 at Anfield a few weeks before when he saved from someone on the line and one of the replays showed the ball was just over but at that speed very hard for the linesman to be 100%.
