Looked like he had aged 20 years. As if we put on a retired player just for funzies.
I understand having not played football for so long or even barely played for several years. But I kind of expected him to try and run occasionally. But he was happy with strutting around like he was playing beach ball with a few friends while drinking beer.
I think he needs to go out on loan until January to find form. We can't afford that, unless he joins NG for a few months.
He might come around as a plausible CM but that will take a long time and I really wonder if it is worth it. Even if he finds form again, is he really good enough to play at the expected level? I'd rather hand those minutes to someone who is in form and can improve.
