He's publicly stated he will be glad to finish his career as sick of racism / media pressure and football politics.
He also openly said spurs can't force him out and he will happily run his contract down and leave got nothing. That's why whenever he pipes up on twitter you see loads of comments saying 'if you don't enjoy it the pack in' (the censored version
).
He just doesn't seem that fussed about playing. Then again he went to Newcastle but was pretty injury prone.
He's clearly a massive improvement on what we have. I just don't think he's one player I would throw big money at as he's a LB. You'd think 30-50k a week would be better off spent on two loans (CB / CF).
