He has always been near or top of the charts for attackers who make tackles. I personally do think he’s overrated on his play, he seems to run into too many players when he should pass.
He is still a very good player though, but he probably worked harder than any other player in our toughest part of the season, he could have easily downed tools if he knew he was leaving, but he didn’t.
Also watching the behind the scenes footage after the last games show exactly what his team mates think of him, and it’s a lot. The moody/ sulky looks are probably him in match mode and in his own zone and focussing.
