Well just to add some balance, I would like him to stay.
He's an outstanding player who after a bad spell has worked hard to get back on form and to win his starting place back.
He's asking for a new contract or to be let go, one way or another. I don't see anything unreasonable in that. It's no secret that Hughes has had a problem with him and he probably feels about as unloved as Tevez does at the rags, yet I don't hear anyone here slating Tevez for his outburst in the NOTW.
A lot of hypocrites on this forum imho.
Those are good points, except for that fact that there is no reason why he has to make public comments to engineer a move. He can talk to Hughes in private, and as it's obvious that Hughes doesn't rate him as a starting 11 player, so I'm sure Hughes would have accomodated him once we get a couple quality players in.
There is no need for the public comments he's made.
