Don't think there's anything in it bar a bit of page filler but it's quite possible all he needs atm is a change of scenary.

Assuming we got him, we'd be paying what? £30M or so. Assuming we signed him on a 5 year contract, he'll be 33 ish when it expires. A lot of money for someone who will effectively be past it as far as playing at the top level is concerned. I'd rather see us spend £30M and buy say Messi or Fabregas, someone we can keep for 10 years+.
