I've always rated Middleton but he was a fall guy and target for many, he was even good last season for most of it and was decent at times in the relegation season, would have been an error to get rid so he could go shine elsewhere

He's still at a good age and just needs game time now, inconsistent but loads are, he is great at getting crosses into box, it can't be easy being targeted by the GF moaners

He wants to be part of it, look at his reaction at goals, I'm happy for him and it just adds to our squad strength
