What Happened To...

So I am playing a really intense game of Football Manager (better during lockdown) and my scout has recommended that I sign former Liverpool defender Emiliano Insua.

I seem to remember he broke into the Liverpool team, played a lot of games and then out of nowhere was just gone. All whilst he seemingly was a promising youngster.

What happened? Surely he was a better option than Konchesky and then Moreno?

Like Moreno he was always suspect at defending while Moreno had a better forward game. He was just average and has had a good average career.

He had serious injury problems as well if I remember correctly?

Was transferred to Atletico and actually was a first team player for them for a while.

Better career than a lot of others.

Could be wrong on this however i believe he was allowed to leave by hodgson after we made the signing of the century (for all the wrong reasons) in paul konchesky.

Insua had several issues.

first of all he was a short player and not very oggd defensively.

second he had'nt a word of english

thrid he was a bit round and wasn't fit enough when he arrived.

But the reality is he was a rafa player and hodgson get shut for konchesky.

for me whethr a player has a n alright (nothing special) career compared to others who vanish is irrelevant.

He was an ok player just about but like manquillo who is now at newcastle they are average.

No disrespect but thats the way it is.

people need to realise that 9 games at atletico does not mean he won a la liga and copa

At one point we had left backs called Emiliano, Fabio and Andrea.

Didnt win much.
