Our stats with him out of the team under Rafa tell their own story. Bye.

Got them to hand?

 

Nope. But we've won all 3 matches he didn't play in this season, and were unbeaten while he was out injured at the tail end of last season. All off the top of my head. The only positive result he contributed to was Spurs on the final day.

I'm quite surprised at the majority being happy with this. I didn't mind him at all and felt at times he was a good fullback.

 

Certainly, he's not top drawer, as this move testifies but overall I've got more positivity than negativity when I look back at his time here. He's certainly not failed imho.

 

Also, he acted with some degree of professionalism/integrity when he's clearly planned to leave since the relegation was confirmed.

 

I'm really surprised at the fee. In this crazy market, I'd have expected us to get £12m minimum tbqh.

I know it was a nothing game but he was excellent in that game on the last day.

Agree with this, albeit has had periods of poor play that began to weigh him down towards the end of last season I think Benitez could have got a lot more out of him defensively and he was very good in attack. Sorry to see him go for a pathetic fee in todays market.

Anyone else reckon he was quite happy to stay but Benitez had seen enough and made this happen? Certainly how it appears to me.

 

I think he couldn't give a damn. His heart wasn't in it ever since the altercation with the fans.
