FiNeRaIn I don't see why people are speaking at this with a tone of disgust.
There could be a million reasons why he played the way he did in the end of his reading career. I still remember him playing in a game mis-controlling an easy pass and then absolutely slamming the ball against the advertising boards in frustration- he cared, he was frustrated. Players get injuries, personal issues happen, confidence goes, that's just the nature of football. Some people reach a height then never play the same again. The list of footballers who fell off the map or never came through is bigger than the bible.
The highlight of his career was that 106 season, he wrote himself into the history books of a small English town forever, its one he can always show the videos to his family of and im grateful he was part of that. He now plays in his home country with ex european pro's and people who will never be good enough to play to the highest standards in the world. I suspect he might not play with the same confidence or hunger anymore, but that's up to him. Sad it may be, but whose to say any of us wouldn't fall into that category if we were in that position?

Ark Royal He came on as sub, did nothing, barely had a touch and looked totally disinterested. The same could be said for Darren Huckerby, who looked at best a total parody of an ex-Prem footballer.

Sometimes pro footballers get injuries they never overcome. Dropping down the leagues, in this case to MLS is inevitable. Just surprised people find that such a difficult concept to grasp.

FiNeRaIn The MLS will always be a poor standard, I really don't know why people continually slate it and find it surprising. They don't have the history and its not in american blood to be a " soccer" player.
MLS is MLS, its an exhibition league for most ex-european pro's and it produces a number of decent American youngsters all who will try their hand in Europe to progress their careers. Some will make it, most won't. Convey did in my eyes because of 106- he just never came on to play in the top league ( arguably) in the world. Thank you and have a nice life BC.
