It doesn't actually specify his knee, perhaps its another type of surgery? A "prisoner" in his own body if you will?? Hes already got the first name sorted
I think it's something that you notice with players that get injured long term, especially in defence or midfield. You get those that continue the way they were before, and then you get those that feel like every tackle is a one way ticket to the physio room for another year. I suspect he's fitter to play than he's letting on, and doesn't want to risk the prospect of not picking up another payday. As has already been mentioned, calling yourself a "prisoner" for sitting on your arse making obscene money just makes you look like a ****
To be honest, most of us would take up the offer of refusing to work if we can still get our guaranteed wages? Why bother to get out of bed?
IF, and it’s a big if, he has been deemed fit by enough people but is still refusing to play or get close to playing and we can’t send him back or come to an agreement with Villa, I’d just tell him to stay away from the club. Or at the very least make him train, get changed etc away from the First Team. If the above is in any way true, he’ll be a negative influence we don’t need around, especially when he’s not our player/concern.
Needs to skip the social media and concentrate on getting fit. Is that a car or a cinema room at his gaff? He doesnt seem right in the head to be honest.
I did read in their local rag that he was back at Villa for treatment. Obviously that was a load of bollox
