He's 'playing the game 'these days at least. However, he doesn't want to stay at Albion, that's been clear for a long time - performances, body language, press statements, Twitter messages and turning down of contract offers. Whoever is really to blame it doesn't matter now. He's off sooner than later hence the club ideally need to replace him now even if he is to leave in Jan or next summer - that's good planning isn't it?
He will score goals somewhere else of course but I also expect him to have one or two problems along the way too until he settles down in his late 20s at which point we'll see whether he's half as good as he thinks he is. In the meantime , we'll get on with our lives and look to Leko, Roberts and other youngsters to show the club the respect we think it deserves following the support they've received over the years.
