In the past I've stood up for the lad both at the match and on this forum.
I've tried to highlight that he's probably not used to squad rotation due to his past successes and that if he is a "confidence player" that this could have knocked him a little.
I've attempted to tell others fans that he was developing his all-round game as a result at being deployed in an unfamiliar system of play.
I've even used the "WE NEED WINGERS" tactic on a couple of occasions.
I've honestly really tried to keep positive about the lad.......
.....but the sad fact is his heads gone now at City. I doubt anyone would disagree with me when I say that he hasn't fitted in to this new footballing challenge, to be honest he's looked out of his depth on too many occasions, and he's not really shown us on enough occasions that he's the player to build this "EXPENSIVE WINGERS" style of play around. I wish the kid all the good luck in the world for his future, but I hope we sell him this summer whilst some manager will still pay a hefty fee for him, letting both him and us move on.
