Wasn't he Fergies last 'big' name capture for Man Utd? He showed at Old Trafford he wasn't really up for it. Likewise, when they loaned him to us, he once again showed he couldn't give a flying one.
If he ends up going to a Champions league club, and only makes the bench in most premier league and champions league games, I have a feeling his form will suffer with his poor attitude, like it did for us and man utd. He's better off being a huge fish in a small pond, by staying at Palace
