He’s perennially a player that managers look at and think that they can get a tune out of him. His problems are mental. When he’s self motivated like away at Chelsea you saw what he can contribute and it improved our attack. But unfortunately, more often than not, he isn’t self motivated and if you can’t produce in our team with its settled structure and this manager, your career is in trouble. Not even 6 months remaining on his contract is motivating him because he knows there will always be a manager who thinks ‘I can get him back.’ Unfortunately, by now, there have been more poor seasons than good ones.
