Why has he not performed for Saints ?
Maybe because he hasn't been given enough of a chance but that is arguable.
Some would say he's had plenty of time to prove himself although he's been injured a lot during that time.
Anyway the manager doesn't rate him it seems so we won't be seeing him again,.....until he returns for the opposition one day and inevitably scores.
We are certainly missing more than a bit of creativity in the midfield, not just this season either.
I don't dislike him or begrudge him the opportunity to play.
It's not his problem that he has a lucrative contract.
