All the stuff about him leaving on a free etc would be forgotten by 95% of fans if he re-signed, and I'm sure he'd make all the right noises in the press and interviews. His wages would more likely be the stumbling block.
Burt he would fill a position in our squad we're lacking. Would I play him ahead of Rudoni, or even Torp, at the moment. No. But we haven't got a player who can move up the field with the ball at his feet, drawing fouls etc. Those kinds of players are extremely useful in breaking down teams sitting back, and we still struggle to do that to some extent.
So using him in that manner of the bench when we're struggling to beat those teams would be useful. Maybe he might come in for Torp, or possibly Rudoni, when they need a rest. So I think he'd still get a decent amount of minutes assuming FL
