At £10M, you've got yourselves a very good player and we've done okay considering he's only got a year to go on his contract.
Will Bobby be as good again next season? Only time will tell plus it's at a higher level but it won't be for lack of effort if he isn't.
He will work his socks off, harass defenders for the entire 90 minutes, chase lost causes all day and is a decent finisher. He can also drop further back as and when required. Bear in mind he was an average midfielder until 12 months ago.
With all possible respect, if it hadn't been yourselves, we would, to a man, be wishing him well. Yes, it hurts but he was obviously going to leave this summer and rather this than us facing him this season.
