Sad but true I'm afraid.. I'd bet my house on him leaving in the Summer to play for a team in the Champions League/Europa League. Might be worth putting a bid in for Javier Hernandez. His wage might be a roadblock but he can't be happy being fourth choice striker at Man United.
Theres not many who'll be able to replace him thats for sure .An all round player at such a low price don't come around to often and we may not see the likes of him wearing a white shirt for another generation .
How we got Bony for 12 million without any other teams really getting involved is astounding .Same with Routledge , got him for under3 million and I value him at close to 10 million these days .These are the kinda deals that keep us in the black season after season while getting great imput on the pitch .
