At the moment with so many midfielders missing his return is welcome. I actually would not be surprised if he doesn't leave in the summer. He is on a good contract , he seems to be happy with not being in the team every week as first choice and he seems to have Christmas off each year.
I think that any club that would be interested in signing him probably would struggle to match his current earnings and not every player in the squad can play every week which he seems to accept.
Of course, the caveat is that we have no idea what CA really thinks of most of our players.
I think we need to realise that we will not see any more transfer splurges like the one Koeman went on a few seasons ago.
We have a lot of young players and I think the manager will work with those in addition to Digne,Pickford and a couple of other senior players.
I think we will see a smaller number of carefully chosen players for key positions and I think we will largely have a new midfield by next season.
