No doubt one of the reasons he is so eager to sign a 5 year deal, is the fact that he has had long spells out with injury and he wants to secure his future. Can you blame him? Maybe ? You can't blame him for being injured though, its a risk every footballer takes. Did you blame Cisse for being injured?
If Kewell had come back fat or unfit maybe you would have had a point, but he has come back lean and mean, and if he manages to avoid injury for a few years could still be a major player for us.
I do not think that Kewell thinks that the time he was having ops was great, I just do not think that he should be painted as a victim. He has made a packet doing nothing.
He does look lean this time but he never did any of the other times he recouped from long injuries. That was because he was on a long contract then and now he needs some other mug to resign him. He now wants to play in the final (and no doubt he will play well as his meal ticket has finished and he needs a new one) and to play for Australia in the summer. I have never doubted his talent only his motivation.
In the final however I doubt he will put himself about if the going gets tough, he will probably opt for the easier option of securing his meal ticket by playing well with Australia in the summer.
The problem I have with Kewell is that I have a good memory.
By the way, I did not blame Cisse for being injured, in fact it was the one thing I respected in him as he struggled to play again from a horrific injury. He showed heart and a refusal to accept his injury. Cisse always wanted to play.
