The bloke's been lumbering around like an absolute mess for the last year and has become one of the biggest football flops of all time, English football's great comedy figure. Apparently unfit and unmotivated, or atleast completely and utterly out of form. He basically looks like a shit, gutless version of the player we watched in the Championship. Paying £35 million for him looks like the biggest joke in footballing history, going back in and paying big money (even more so relative to what we have) for the shit version of Andy Carroll is even more ridiculous.
I'm not at all convinced he'd come back and start playing well again, in fact, I'm almost convinced he wouldn't. Could buy a fucking excellent couple of players for £15 million.
