Zenden was on the radio last week. He didn't seem happy at all and it sounds as though he'll be away at the end of the season. It didn't seem as though he'd had a lot of communication with Bruce and has pretty much been left in the dark.
I must admit though, although he's a canny squad player he's not getting any younger so if he were to leave I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. However, we've been playing like shite for months now and any change for me I'd look on positively. I do disagree with players being played out of position though.
I'm sure Zenden will be off, he said when he signed the contract extension he wanted more games and this season he's probably had less if anything. He was very good in excellent results at Spurs and Chelsea but has since found himself as very much a bit part player behind out of form players like Henderson and Elmohamady, and unfit players like Cattermole. After our inexperience was shown up at SJP he still couldn't get a game in the home re-match and after our form has dipped dramatically recently he still isn't used. Baffling management and I can't blame Zenden one bit for being upset.
