From what I saw of him he looked good and was probably only going to get better as he settled in - anyone could see he was a much better midfielder than everyone at the club (except an on form gerrard). He played 12 games for us scoring 3 goals and providing 3 assists....
....so why were the likes of Allen, Shelvey and Henderson preferred? Did Sahin request to end the loan deal so it made no sense to keep picking him? It would be very bizarre if it was instigated by the club.
I really do not understand that too, he did not even get a chance to prove himself. Yet the likes of Downing gets consistent games, with consistent poor performance.
