It's plausible this is to provide cover for poor performance. I hope it's not, and is in fact the culprit in his inability to contribute this year. But I'm not pinning hopes on it.
It seems like several of you might be taking this in the wrong direction. This is about a crisis that is happening right now. It's terrible. Good for Ankou shining a light on it.
He was worth it until the injury, and now the contract sucks, unfortunately.
I actually think he'll be good next year but it's a real shame we "lost" him for half of last season and I'm assuming all of this season
