Don't think he has been the same player since his last injury, seems to have lost some pace and perhaps confidence to, having said that tho his first team appearances have been few & far between in recent times,
I think he is past his best now if I'm honest and perhaps it is best for all concerned he moves on,
I think the pace in Italy will suit his performance levels and Rafa recognises this fact, I think he is 28 now so he is no spring chicken either footballing wise,
it would be a shame if his remaining time here was spent warming the bench hoping for the odd 20 mins here or there, he's better than that,
If he were to go I'm sure most fans will wish him well and will remember his good points rather than his not so good points, very good player and like had already been mentioned a unsung hero.
