He had a couple of loan spells and got injured and by then his opportunity had gone. Shame it didn't work out and that he was on an unfeasibly long deal with the club, but there you go.

I would have to question his insurance cover. If the injury was career ending then he could have retired with a lump sum and been a full-time pundit etc. without the damage to his reputation i.e. being a waster. That means I can only conclude he didn't have appropriate insurance and had to sit out his contract until it expired because he had no choice.
I thought insurance was standard these days for footballers but I may be wrong.

I don't know exctly how insuring players works, but I would have thought that it would be the club who insured the player. Ultimately they have the most to lose. (Wages owed and fee paid)
