tend to agree with you, its not even like he was great the first time, an ok player in a poor team the 2nd year and someone that struggled to make the team in his first year....44 starts out of a possible 84 and got taken off in 20 of those...and looking at his career since ,those 2 years seemed to be his purple patch.

Only made 8 MLS starts in 18 appearances for Vancouver Whitecaps, out of a 34 match season. Not sure if he was injured or just not selected for the other games.
He was scheduled to stay until the end of December, but the Whitecaps did not make the playoffs so he wouldn't be playing anyway until next February if he stayed.
They didn't exercise their option to buy, but there are quite tight controls on budgets and overseas players in MLS so it may be that they didn't have room for him in their squad rather than not wanting him for how he played.
It would be a low cost low risk option, but 2 questions occur to me:-
1). Who would he replace in the 25 man Premier League squad? Who would he be better than?
2). Its a long time since he played at Premier League level - MLS is barely lower half Championship standard for most teams, apart from one or two teams with big stars. It would be a big step up on what he's done recently.
