I think it was that he was in a pretty average Spurs team and so looked special. When he came to United he was in a team full of players at the same level as him or better and so he just looks ordinary. I think if he was still at Spurs now he would have trouble getting into that team, Harry Redknapp has worked wonders there. I think he may be on the way out, United need to buy and to do that they are probably going to have to sell, i think he is going to be pretty high up on the list even though Fergie will hate admitting his mistake in buying him and is going to have to take a pretty big loss on him.
