I'd have him back as long as he was allowed the relatively attacking role he had last time. One thing I liked about him was that he won the ball and then straight away turned around with it and drove forward. In a midfield three, it works well because he can then lay it off to a more attacking player like Eunan, but in a two man midfield, he doesn't have that chance because the player next to him would probably be the more defensive option. You then end up having no good passers on the pitch creating not very much.
So I suppose it depends how we intend to set up next year.
