I think the lad reached a point where he just didn't give a shite any more.
A move away is the best for everyone concerned, most of all Ryan Babel, who'll just rot at this club.
To be fair he did no better under Roy.
The thing is he isnt a winger.
I have said this loads of time but in Holland he played in a 3 out wide, that is completely different to being wide of a 4 or 5.
In a 3 man attack 4-3-3 he is more infield and would get the ball in areas where he can get shots of early.
The system would have suited Kuyt as well.
We should have been playing it for years we have the players that are used to it.
Having said that if we are not going to play it then we might as well get rid, the fee probably should be higher but after years of underachieving thats what happens.
Time to get rid try someone else and move on.
