More like 2 years ago, he was poor last season, maybe those back to back injuries lost his momentum, The City rumours were around the time he was due to be offered the extended contract, Agents often start those rumours, City denied they had shown interest.He is a strange one all right is this lad. Only a year or so ago he looked our best defender and the press were quietly confident he could make the international team. There were even some rumours suggesting Pep was keeping tabs on him with a estimated £30mill bid.
At that time we Blues thought he would push on and be an certain starter for years to come, with some suggesting he could eventually become captain.
Jeez, where did that player go?
