Personally I don't see why people have a problem with him. I still think he's a good player. A bit lightweight maybe, and certainly not top class, but a very useful player to have in the squad or on the bench imo. He has shown he can pop up with goals and had a decent return last season (double figures I think) despite not always being first choice, and perhaps more importantly has shown that he can come on and change a game (his dribble and pass to set up Torres' equaliser against Chelsea in the CL semi was excellent).
So what's the problem? He's not first choice, we aren't relying on him, and I can't think off the top of my head any game where he has been completely sh.it. More often than not he puts in a decent performance. He seems happy to be a squad player, has a good attitude and is a good professional. Once again I'll reiterate - I think he's a good player, and I can't fathom why some are choosing to single him out for abuse - is it because Kuyt has scored a couple of goals and we need a new scapegoat? Do people really think he should be shown the door ahead of someone like Pennant for example? I don't. Any other strong opinions on this?

If an offer of 5-6 million came in for him I'd take it personally, but in saying that I'd be looking to sell Pennant, Lucas, Aurelio and Voronin more eagerly I must admit.

Sell Aurelio (our best left back) and leave Dossena? Explain how that would be wise?
