Never seen a player with such touch and control in a defensive player. I hope he can manage another season.
Not surprising, as that's pretty much his chance of playing in the PL gone.I think he was in tears at the end

He's 36 in October, no one can play forever.I would have thought this at the start of the season, but he is as fit if not fitter than anyone else in the team. I am sure there is a couple of more seasons in him
Indeed he has, should have got player of the season IMO.but he is the one player I feel most sorry for because the Prem can't come too soon for him. He's been brilliant.
The best player in the championship.
I dont think its even a question of whether he can handle another year, he can probably play 2 or 3 more! What a player he has turned up to EVERY game this year and been 7/10 or more. Incredibly fitness just his emotions I think are down to the fact he is thinking 'I am a little too old for the Prem now'. Very tough on him can't quite believe he wasn't playing Prem football earlier in his career.
He was first choice for Valencia in the Champions League a few years ago lest we forget. It really shows as well, his speed of thought is way above anybody else in this division.
