There is no hope for him unless he magically lands in a team that doesn't badly need some of the aspects he is not good at. Which is City probably, not many others. Teams that have very well set up paths and tactics, and don't require individual players to make the difference constantly.
He'll probably fail and, of course, you can point at his limitations and say it's his fault for not developing in other areas. I agree though, he is great at keeping the ball, making few errors with passes, moving well to get in possession. On other things, he is not developing at all. Very few teams out there actually need the things he is very good at, and almost all big teams badly need the things he is mediocre add. If you add that... he's toast unless he does something to reinvent himself, which he won't probably, because his mentality and his dedication are also suspect.
