I think all that shows is a lack of empathy on your part.
He was 22 years old, he didn't speak English, he'd never lived outside of France his entire life, he'd just had a pretty bad falling out with his previous coach and then he was dumped into a disaster zone at Wolves. We've already heard how bad the atmosphere was and about how players would never speak to each other, do you really think he was made to feel welcome? Add that to his fitness problems in the early part of the season and I'm not surprised that he became so depressed that he had to be sent back to France for time off.
I'm not willing to completely write him off as a Wolves player because of those extenuating circumstances. He wouldn't be the first foreign player to struggle in his first season in England but then push on to better things.
