I don't believe John has been looking after himself for a while and has let the last couple of years go to his head.
His life off the pitch and relationship ending the way it did won't have exactly helped matters.
I wish him well sorting his head out and hopefully start to realise the huge promise he showed.
He wants a new deal but we aren't in any rush, a damning endictment, considering he has just over two years left, is homegrown, and has seen half his team-mates rewarded with improved long-term contracts during the last year, with much longer left on them.
His new partner is apparently pregnant to somebody else, and his focus isn't where it should be.
