Those saying it's an indication we aren't getting our targets, who exactly could we realistically bring in to fill his shoes? We've seen him playing well in the PL for Blackpool and I can't think of too many players who are available who have his quality. If he truly has sorted his attitude out, he's a better proposition than any player we could have realistically brought in, so I'm not sure it indicates we are desperate. He's a high quality player and this solution makes sense for all parties.
