He's a professional footballer whose style is incredibly inflexible. The game of football has passed him by. He couldnt make an impact on a Fulham side either last season who got relegated and who play with wingers and had Lewis Holtby in their side playing centrally as well and he was a disaster. The guy couldnt give a shit and is seeing out his extortionate £70k a week contract. That is all. He hasnt developed his game, no aspect of his skillset has improved and he appears to have decided to give up on moving. He has no strength, no mobility, no pace, no first touch, no vision and no desire. He has literally nothing going for him as a professional footballer at the Premiership level.
I fucking hate him. Clearly out of favour and instead of pushing himself when given an opportunity out on loan last season, instead of making noise about wanting to leave, the spoilt fucking prick elects to sit around on his increasingly fat ass and collect a colossal sum of cash, a wage he has not deserved to be paid for about 3 years. He didnt want to force a move because he would either a) have to work to earn his cash or b) have to settle for a much lower wage.
