That's certainly the outlook that most of us would have. But is it true ?
It's not easy being injured for a football player. The day to day activities at the club revolve around training and matches. As a new player, there's no better way to settle in than getting involved during training. To not take part due to injury gives players a feeling of isolation from the activities of the club. To be that condition when you arrive makes it all the more difficult. When added to Agustin's language difficulties the situation becomes a recipe for disaster.
Which is exactly what has happened. Gordon Strachan is only interested in the fit players at his club. He has no time for those in the treatment room and has said he rarely even goes in to check on the injured players. Football clubs really couldn't care less about what the players do when they're not at training, so Agustin will have had a hard time settling into the area as well. Just look at how long it took the club to arrange for some language lessons. Yes, Agustin should be mature enough to do things by himself. How many footballers do you know that are respected for their maturity ? Right.
So, Agustin must have felt particularly frozen out. With Strachan clearly not too keen on Agustin's arrival in the first place, you can understand how Agustin felt.
I was going to go on and write about how Agustin's brother is hardly helping to get things moving in the right direction. Now that I can put down my Big Book of Social Work and look what I wrote above, perhaps what I mean is moving in the best direction for the club.
There's actually an argument for Marcos looking out for his brother. He sees Agustin's not happy and that his career is going nowhere. He also sees that moving to the Premiership and settling in while injured hasn't worked out. He can hardly have been impressed by some of Strachan's comments. I'm a fan and I thought they were poor. So he tries his best to get his brother away from the club.
Marcos even admits: "The best thing would be for him to recover and play for Southampton but he doesn't have the chance to do that."
However he knows that Agustin is well down the pecking order and that a move would be the best option. "In a place where my brother doesn't count on the support of the coach it will be very difficult to get in good shape," said Marcos.
While that has more to do with Delgado's determination than the Saints training facilities or coaching, a demoralised player will always have a longer road back to fitness. As a footballer's career is a short one, Marcos is keen to get the best for his brother, as quickly as possible, even if that means ruffling a few feathers along the way.
Agustin Delgado's move has been a bit of a disaster. The only winners were Necaxa who got to pocket the transfer fee. Saints are out £3.75 million, have picked up a reputation for not helping their players settle in, and have a red faced chairman who should clearly keep out of such dealings in the future.
Delgado has had almost two years of his career wiped out, and is considered to have attitude problems which will put off nearly every other European club.
Hopefully a solution can be found shortly so that all parties can move on, and Marcos can look after his brothers interests at a different club.
