Surely if he's serious about his football he should be getting into a new club early on in pre-season to make an impression and get to know his new team mates.
The fact that he hasn't done that speaks volumes to be about his desire to actually play football. He saw for the past at least four years that he wasn't going to be a frequent starter for us, yet happily sat on his huge salary instead of trying to forge a career at a different club.
He only wants the money. He doesn't want to actually have to play football for it.
