I agree he's one of our few bright lights and is wonderful to watch. I do think his stock has risen substantially with him not playing though. He's now regarded as Arsenal's and England's saviour and he wasn't even an England regular when he was fit!

I agree with a poster above: rest of season off + no England tournament shite = good
