I assume the club knows more than we do how close he is. Probably reasonable to assume, too, that he isn’t blessed with offers from other Premier League clubs and, therefore, won’t be asking ridiculous wages.
If that is true, and if he overcomes his mental issues and gets back to even 60% the player he was, he would still be our best player. He’s still in his 20s and, physically, should be coming into his peak.
He said in his interview he has his eyes on the next international tournament with England and I still think someone could unearth a player, there.
