I don't think you can hold it against him in a personal way, but I do agree that as a club we have allowed him to become the player he has - he's grown with us, as much as we've grown with him. As much as we have a lot to thank him for, he will also have a lot to thank us for.
You don't often get a player and a club matching so well at the right time, but that's what happened. It's been a true match made in heaven for the last 5 years, perfect fit for us all the way.
I just don't think I'll be able to handle seeing him in another clubs kit though! Just plain odd.
