Sorry but if this is true then I'll drive him down. Always liked him, a very good player on his day, and that's half the problem he doesn't have that many. I don't think anyone can justify paying him that amounts of money so if other clubs want to be silly enough to do so then they can feel free.
I think he's a player who could've played for a top 4 team over the last 5 seasons, he's that good.
I suppose the obvious question then is, why did none of the top four clubs - or even any of the wannabe top four clubs - ever try and sign him? Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Mozza, I agree he's been a great servant and probably has a year or two left in the tank at this level, but like a lot of our long-serving players, I think he drifted into being simply "reliable" rather than "outstanding".
Mind you, if we're letting the likes of him and Sess go (plus Saido, presumably) then this transfer window is definitely sink or swim time for the club. We're cutting loose the players who, for all their flaws, have proved capable of getting us to forty points time and time again. We either replace them with quality - and preferably young blood - or we're in trouble.
