I think his career is practically over. He can only manage about 5 games per season. HIs next contract will have to be pay as you play.
theyve got him working on another trainig programme designed to hel;p his hamstrings very similar to the one micky owen worked on at liverpool may take a season for him to see the benefits and he will always be injury prone but if we can get 30-35 games a season from him i would be well happy .
a think its unlikely to get that many games out of him, its a shame cos i used to rate him as one of the best attacking midfielders in the premiership
