Not surprised the daily mail/sun thinks it was first half 'pretty good' then golf happened, because its the lazy narrative, but it's far from true
He also won them trophies, the incredible run on the goal in the league cup final vs barca, his goals in the cl finals etc. He was more than worth the fee

He wasn't used by Zidane because when he was used he was bad. He couldn't be relied on. It's just really as simple as that, no matter how much people want to think that there was some vendetta, it was really just performance.
