He wasn't great last season but he came into it injured and just never got going. Even then, League 1 clubs wanted to take him on loan and, while it's hard to judge the level he's playing at in Belgium, he doesn't seem to be doing himself any harm at all out there. I'd like to have seen him brought back in January but the way things are going he's better off where he is.
These are big ifs but if the manager believes in him and if we play in a way that suits him I still think he's got a big part to play here but I respect your opinion and only time will tell.
