He is way too inconsistent with it.

I think the test of a loan player is how gutted you are to see them leave at the end of the season. I'm not at all really. I think what we were paying him could be saved and although he has that x factor in some games when he looks at it and interested, those times are few and far between.

He has come out and said he thinks he is good enough to be in the Liverpool squad. I can't see it.
So what about his first goal yesterday then ? Mishit it I suppose did he and it luckily swerved into the net from about 35 yards !! Plus the one against Belgium for Wales. You are just floundering around trying to cover up previous silly and derogatory comments about a player who is probably the most technically gifted player in the Championship. He has been worth every penny of whatever we have paid him and I for one have enjoyed seeing him being a City player this season. He is the one player in our side who gets people off their seats when he receives the ball and one of the few players in our squad worth paying to go and see. We will badly miss him next season.
