he'd walk into our first team as it is now if were being honest.

i saw a clip of goals from the 16/17 season hes involved in most of them. shame he got blinded by money but i dont think koeman exactly encouraged him to stay they clearly hated eachother
 
Sarri is the best thing that could happened for the lad. He's famous for giving a chance to the players he has at his disposal and improve them a lot. If he's up for it, then he needs to keep his head down and listen to the maestro.

The whole situation was badly managed

Don't think anything more could have been done tbh - we tried the carrot [Martinez] which worked for a bit, before Ross got disinterested and out of shape, then the stick [Koeman] which also worked in the short term before he again couldn't be arsed (amounted to a committed effort to play himself out of the England team, which was an horrendous missed opportunity for him, in hindsight. Would have been the only ball-carrying midfielder in the squad).

So either he is just an oxygen thief of a player that cannot be managed, or he has / had something in his personal life that was causing him big problems here. The level of talent combined with extreme flakiness over several seasons is too hard to explain otherwise.
