Got to remember aswell he maybe at the top but he isn't a first team regular. He seems the type that wants to play first team football and not be happy like chokky mcclair was at man utd.
That between the lines stat is what many a number ten for the opposition used to find regularly playing against our team. Barkley, foden, debruyne, Silva, etc.
With him been a born and bred brummie though he would've probably signed a new deal with them, but they must've thought that's a great deal for the financial side.
Well that's what happens, they went aggressive in there wages transfer structure and it's now a problem, we went the opposite and had to take a few year hiatus.
But it shouldn't matter all this shit nowadays it didn't in the 90s and earlier.
