  is he still plagued by injury? I remembered he was off injured for a very long period...
  
  That time when Borough got him on free loan, it made headlines but I guessed he over the hill liao...
  
  Maybe when Southgate gets sacked(which maybe soon) - he can give McClaren a run for his money...

  Its a shame that one of the best midfielders in the game has his career in limbo for the past 5 years...
