Who else did we have last season? We'd a lot of games and needed to rotate at times.
He was told to find a new club as he was no longer needed before being bizarrely picky about where he'd go, so while we saw De Jong and Riviere leave he just stuck it out and stayed put.
He wouldn't leave for anywhere outside the north-east apparently, Hull being too far away, what kind of highly paid professional footballer does that? He could be playing somewhere now, a decent level championship club would probably have taken him.
Hopefully he never pulls on the shirt again and spends the rest of his days here training in exile til he fucks off the pathetic berk.
