Exactly!

We signed the captain of Denmark, someone who has played for, and in, the biggest clubs and leagues in world football...and the "manager" f**ks him about, doesn't play him, plays him here, there, everywhere, on the bench...

Yes, I was excited we signed Helveg. But after a couple of games it seemed clear that it just wasn't going to work-and, in the end, he became a player who had a chance to "prove himself"-yea, right!
