Thanks for the memories Ya Ya. Last season he was incredible.
The slow pace of the Italian League will suit his aging legs.
I hate this view. He is still our most important midfielder. We are better with him than without. Not forgetting Lampard and Milner are off this summer. The only one I would keep ahead of him is Big Dave. The two Ferns, Nasri and Navas aren't fit to lace his boots.
I think his legs have gone mate.
He has been blowing out of his arse for weeks.
You have to blame the manager as well though. Sat there doing fuck all, as he is struggling in the middle off the pitch. For the life of me i have been unable to comprehend why Pellegrini has persisted with him in a midfield 2 pretty much all season despite his now glaringly obvious limitations.
If you said to me he was staying, but he was going to be utilised much better. Maybe become a bit part player, a super-sub to throw on late, just behind the striker with no defensive responsibility, then I would be fine with that. I think he would be perfect for 20 minutes here and there and would score a few goals for us.
The important roll in the middle is now beyond him. Just my opinion.
