you said he chucked it last season. the season is 38 games. you did not say he chucked it in certain ones.
so your basing this off the fact he gets yellow cards and a bad game. mental.
every time i see him he runs his backside off and the sheer volume of work he does is something i would be very worried to be without.
he has the traits of a player that every big club loves to have in their team.
