He's completely unfit. I've no idea whats happening with him behind the scenes.
I've been a clubs were they sign an injured player and play him most of the season rather than give him 8 weeks at the start to recover and get up to speed.
And the manager will scoff and laugh and say we didn't spend all that money on a player to not play him. Repeat scoff, then give you a look to tell you that you don't understand about winning. And then the player is out for 60-70% shit for the other 30% and knacked for the following season after playing injured so much.
There's an emotional tie between how much they pay and expectancy of return via games played. That makes no rational sense so I'd struggle to comprehend it myself. You could see it in the fans when we signed KT injured. People are desperate to see him in the short term. If he needs a couple of months just give it to him. He wasn't any better than kola when he was 70% fit.
