There's not much we can do though mate, he has got a contract and obviously believes deep down that he belongs at a club challenging for the top honours in the game as opposed to one dodging relegation. Discounting the clubs he has been loaned out to his CV reads - Chelsea, Roma, Liverpool which is to be fair quite impressive.
I think the club have resigned themselves to the fact that he's staying, if he was on the verge of a permanent move I couldn't see the club A) taking him to the States and B) giving him so much game time (in case he got injured and jeopardised the £14m deal)
I think he may be prepared to go out on loan again to get games but I don't think he'll move anywhere permanently that he considers a big step backwards, certainly not to a relegation threatened team. I think our best bet is selling him back to Roma or AC Milan or Juventus or somewhere like that, I think he'd accept that.
Yeah,playing him against Roma certainly quelled the prospect of us receiving a more than generous fee for the lad ,probably be snapped up by an Italian team on a
loan basis....I just hope he can be cajoled into reviving the Sunderland move ,however unlikely that now seems.
