Him and Kaboul were instrumental in them staying up last season.
Good news for us tomorrow hopefully, if he's not gone already, he will either be dropped or have his mind will be elsewhere!

not that i feel in the slightest bit sorry for slumderland or moyes but having an open window for the first 3 games of the season is a joke.

The highly-rated teenager is one of Europe's most sought after talents, with Liverpool also having been linked with the Croatia international
Manchester City are set to carry on their summer spending with a £10m deal for Dynamo Zagreb teenager Ante Coric .
[b][i]Croatia midfielder Coric, 19, is one of the most sought after youngsters in Europe and City are hoping to finalise a deal this weekend after lengthy negotiations.
City boss Pep Guardiola has already overseen a series of big money deals and is putting an emphasis on recruiting young talent.
Coric fits the bill perfectly because he is an attacking midfielder, very good technically and was in the Croatia squad for the Euros.
Liverpool are another club who had looked at Coric but City appear to be winning the battle to get him.
City have had a busy summer since Guardiola took the reigns from Manuel Pellegrini, making no less than seven signing.

It has always been a common theme in the Croatian national team to include players who are about to be sold to increase their value, which naturally raises doubts over the merit of their inclusion. It was pretty evident that this was at least partly the case here, as 20-year old Halilović (9 caps), who was already sold to Barca some years before, was deemed too inexperienced by manager Čačić after a full season for Sporting Gijón in La Liga, while Dinamo Zagreb youngsters Ćorić (19), Rog (21) & Pjaca (21) all went to the Euros.
Although a bunch of criminals are running Croatian football, it does not make these youngsters bad players necessarily, just squeezes an extra million or two out of their eventual buyers, usually. Pjaca (went to Juventus for £20m) and Rog (on the way to Napoli for £13m) impressed at the Euros, so most people have long forgotten the commotion over their selection.
I Just Blue Myself wrote:Mamić was executive president of Dinamo and vice-president of the HNS (Croatian Football Federation). He stepped down from both posts this year, the latter after the Euros, due to his pending embezzlement & corruption charges. It is widely believed that his influence is/was even greater, stretching into politics, the judicial system, the police and the media & that the current president of the Football Federation Davor Šuker is just his puppet.
His brother Zoran was the sporting director of Dinamo, then an interim manager twice, then sporting director again, then the manager, now he is managing in Saudi Arabia.
His son Mario runs a football agency representing most of the Dinamo players.
All of them are in investigative custody right now for allegedly funneling transfer fee shares to off-shore accounts and other shenanigans.
By the way, Dinamo's feeder club Lokomotiva plays in the same league and has only managed one draw in 22 matches against Dinamo. Now you say, they must be shit! Far from it, they have been in the top 5 since 12/13, when they even finished
runner-up! Sounds perfectly legit, right?
