But when he came back from injury at the end of last season he did seem to resume doing what he does best and offered something we'd lacked - ie poaching goals from 6 yards. As well as a decent strike at Old Trafford! I cannot believe some still slate him even after the 16 goal season he had for us. And he seems to be scoring for fun at Forest too at the moment although their recent bad run could be due to one of his infamous "dry-spells"
I really would have kept him, although like others have said he would never have been guaranteed a permanent starting lineup place this season. Hence, can understand if he left by his own choice.
