“If you ask the manager, he’ll probably tell you that my situation was the easiest transfer ‘saga’ he’s ever dealt with,” said the England international.

“I was slightly affected because my name was in the papers a little bit. But I spoke to the manager a couple of times and he let me know what was going on, and there really wasn’t a part of me that expected to go.
“It was a difficult time. There were rumours of this player going and that player going. We were all a lot happier when the window shut.”
