1. I think he's only started 4 games though. Everton, Palace x 2 and Man U

1 win, 2 draws, 1 defeat.

I don't think the change this season is particularly indicative of his powers being on the wane though as results have been ok on the few occasions he has started and had he been in the team v the likes of West ham and West Brom there is nothing to say we still would not have won.

Probably what you can read into it is that we are now less dependent upon him having brought in the likes of Fer and played Howson more in an advanced role. However, it still in my view shows its a bit of a risk to offload him ahead of what could be a tight relegation scrap when we really don't need the money.
