I think having his bluff called by Wenger was chastening and now it's clear he isn't going to have that many offers. Maybe he thought some of the lower clubs with looser budgets may sign him as a flagship player. Or maybe he thought that we stand a good chance at playing in the CL and finishing 4th and so that turned his head.
I don't remember him being linked with anyone until Redknapp came along.
