He was cr*p before injury too though.
I'd say that form is more destroyed by ACL and other muscle injuries than bone breaks. Falcao is the prime example. What he could have been if not for ACL.
Now he's not even rubbish and when a year ago I'd have sold my late mother's grave for land to have us sign him, now I would totally object if he came near. And I am, because I hear we're interested in him for this summer.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.

Yeah, he was pretty average last season, especially compared to the good first season he had.
Honestly, for me, I'm not trying to defend him here. If we had Witsel coming in this summer, I'd have no problem selling Monto, but at this point I'm trying to look at the big picture of the situation our club is in, and let's face it, it's not pretty.
Do I think Monto still has something to offer to this team as it is? Yes. That's why I say that if no one better is coming along I'd rather we try to get the best out of him that we can because I can't see us getting anyone better.
If we don't sign the CM we need for next season (which let's face it, is a big possibility), then a midfield trio of Jack, Monto playing in the holding position with a more restricted role and Poli is probably the best we can do
