This. Been saying this for the past few seasons, if he can get back to his form at city, which saw him win a place in the England squad (only for him to lose it after criticize Gerrard et al.) Then he will be a vital cog in our side, unfortunately, we've only seen glimpses of his former self, though he's still quite youngish, I have faith that he can rediscover his form!
didn't he get called-up after he dissed Gerrard, Lampard etc for bringing books out about England's unspectacular 2006 world cup? But yeah he was good in the 06/07 season, pretty much kept Man City up by himself.
