What could we have done differently?

Was poor first season. OK, put it down to youth and inexperience straight into the Prem. Was poor second season in Champs and got loaned out, where he was poor, then Brough back and was poor. So we loaned him out again with a permanent fee agreed to cut our losses before his contract ran all the way down while he was on various loan spells, and hey presto he does well in the second Bundesliga, they manage to exploit the clause for a profit, and now he's doing well in the Belgian league and National League against Ireland who are absolutely s**te.

I think it was the best decision all round. We got some cash back for him, he's getting games and doing well, and really not showing anything suggesting Barcelona quite yet....
