I'd strongly disagree there.
I feel his presence on the pitch for most of the game and particularly the second half against Everton was the main reason we didn't get 3 points and aren't sitting in 3rd, all set for automatic champion's league qualification.
Its not his fault and I agree he's the ultimate pro, but he's about 57 and unless its to slow a game down or re take possession for the last ten mins of certain games, I think he's only good for morale and maybe in a coaching capacity.
I still would have liked us to break the bank at the time and get a similar midfielder in his prime because its exactly what we're missing and who knows where we'd be had we done so.... champions mabye? We'll find out next season I suppose, if we finally do get such a signing.
He's done a job though, no doubt. But he was no Bellamy for changing people's opinions to such an extent - that's for fucking sure!
