His knee fell off when he was younger. How hard is it for you to understand that?
A talented player who had a career threatening injury, one with some talent so a bunch of decent clubs, including ourselves, gave him a go on the off chance that he could get over his injury woes. He could not do that obviously but as a no risk signing he was worth a go.
This does not make him a bad player at all. A useless one maybe but only due to the fact that he is not able to ever get on the pitch.
To paraphrase you, honestly, I think you are just arguing for the sake of it there. There are loads of instances of players being given a chance to see if they can still go. He would have been on minimal wages with no transfer fee. We were doing the lad a favour more than anything. You are acting like he was brought in to be our new right back or something and that's simply not the case.
