Him and Pascal were two of our most important players last season, and as you say, the amount of people writing him off is remarkable. He very clearly would start ahead of Milner in that midfield diamond.Too many people writing WBG off without actually seeing him in the new system. He was impressive in his cameo.
Fab has said he is open to adjusting style of play depending on who we are playing so can see Billy fitting in depending on who we play.
Of course if the right offer comes in, I can see him going but the numbers rumoured to be offered by Napoli seem way off the required number for a player of his quality relative to other fees players have gone for this window already.
It's up to him really if he stays or goes. And I think this has always been the case. Like with Pascal, he's got an offer to play at a European giant and I can really see how tempting that must be. We're a lovely club but we're not Napoli are we?
