Not sure it's revisionism or just the fact that some of us are aware it's hard to judge a player off their past few seasons under the previous management considering, the whole team was a shambles around them, they didn't get a consistent opportunity, and were largely played in a role that hadn't previously being conducive to their success.
He's also a player who is on our books, one that we know we are most likely going to struggle to offload, is it daft to see what he could do under this current manager? I personally am happy to reserve judgement.
