He's done well the past 3 or 4 games, he was one of the few players that did himself justice against Villa and West Brom.
He's not ever going to be a world beater but he's developing into a solid enough defender and he seems the type of lad that won't mind being a back up (getting cup games and the odd league game here and there)
I admire the way his performances have improved even though he had the entire fan base and even the echo on his back, don't underestimate how tough that is to do, that takes a hell of a lot of character.
I like the way he actually blocks crosses as well which our fullbacks have seemed adverse to doing for years now.
Wasn't he highly rated at one point in his career? Maybe there's a player in there yet. For £3m or £4m which is what Valencia are apparently asking I think he's a decent squad filler.
