He does seem to want to be at the club. Which I have to say I find surprising
We still haven't reached the one year anniversary of his knee injury, so I think we have to be patient, given the nature of the injury. It's one thing if it had been something other than the ACL, but the point is just about always made that it takes a particularly long time to get back up to speed from such an injury because a player needs time to regain full confidence in the strength of the knee from a mental standpoint.

The example we should always look to is Delph who kept getting little runs of 2-4 games and looking well off the pace and it was only in his last couple of seasons where he got a good summer behind him and got a run of games that he started looking like the player we wanted him to be. Giving players that time is the real challenge but when the alternative is Cissokho it's worth the effort.
