Every time I see a match report it always describes him as inspirational, even against man city. Every time I see him he is a great player and works hard.
But building a team around someone who has glandular fever might not be too clever seeing as he shouldn't even be playing every match.
I still can't believe the hatred. He is a great player, good at tackling, good work rate, good shot (sometimes) and goal rate for a DM-ish player.
Far better than Emre.
