If he's going to leave, then good luck to him. I think 'past-it' is the wrong phrase to use. 'Past his peak' would be a better one without being harsh, I mean when Rafa plays him, he does the job indeed, scoring more often than not.
He's been a success if you look at his signing in terms of what he was bought for, as a backup to the first choice strikers, he hasn't complained about this once and I'm sure he knows his place even though he would love to be first choice like he was at his undroppable best.
And at least he will leave on his terms, and say goodbye on his terms. Not shipped out after being sacrificed at half time in a game which nobody knew would be his last. I've a feeling it will be an emotional day when he claps the Kop for the final time as a Liverpool player.
