See I had it that he said he was told if he didn’t play top level football he wouldn’t be considered for his national team for the World Cup, he’d said that when he signed as well in his contract.

Tbh I don’t think he ever expected to be utilised like he was when he came to us , for a player who likes to have the ball at his feet , a battering ram he was not , he didn’t like the style of play or what he was asked to do - I know it’s his job but we all move jobs if we don’t like what we’re asked to do.

Decent footballer - that didn’t suit Burnley as it was at that minute.
