Watched him against Wolves and he looked 10 years younger than his 34 years. He was class. This guy has the ball on a string, knits everything together for us and controls the pace of the game..
Getting old is pretty crap really, I wish we could have found a way to keep him at 26 / 27 years of age forever because he has been the best foreign player the premier league has ever seen in my opinion, better than Henry, Bergkamp, Zola, Drogba, even better that the Icons we have had the pleasure of watching, Yaya, Sergio, Kevin, Vinny, Zab..
This guy needs some major recognition from the club when he goes, I hope he doesn't completely sever his ties with us and we can find a position for him if he ever wished to come back.
Another first class super star who has given his best years to our club when he could have stayed in his native Country and ripped it up for RM or Barcelona..
Top Player, Top Man, Top Class...
