his performances are irrelevant to the west ham deal. and I think he can be good under fat sam. if he isnt in the managers plans now, it wont do anyone any good if he stays. I cant see his value getting much lower than it is today. even if we wil sell him for only 10m next summer, we wont lose much on him than if we sell him now for 17 (I dont see us getting more for him) considering his wages. I dont think he will go there either..
