Certainly hope so, he seems to have been a model professional since he's been here, but we haven't seen him play whilst he's not wanted to be here (not that I know of) seeing as he was bombed out straight away under Paolo, there's no telling how he'll perform this year.. Especially in an unfamiliar position, be it out wide or in centre midfield.
I agree he has been a model professional and one of the best players we have had in recent years. He was an excellent captain in our L2 campaign and did not deserve to be treated like a naughty schoolboy. He went on loan to Birmingham with a clear expectation that, if he was wanted there, the deal would become permanent. That has fallen through, and he has been left hanging while others have been shipped out, yet has still played in friendly matches against Supermarine, Abingdon and FGR (and from what I saw at FGR, was about the only player on the pitch who put any real effort in, getting more and more animated as the game went on). I guess he was beginning to feel wanted by KMac, and now he has gone.
I have no doubt that if he is still here, whether he wants to be or not, he will put 100% in to the team, and we will be a better team for it. If he sits and sulks, it will be even more difficult for him to find a team in January, and he surely knows that.
