Supposed to have a year left on his contract. I didn't think he was a winger, more of an advanced midfielder. If true, then surely that would signal the end of Adam and either one of Cole or Aquilani.

Exactly the type of player we should be looking at, someone who's about to make a name for himself.

[colin85]

Which country has he decided to play for?
