I think most people were aware at the time that his signing was a risk... but most were happy enough for us to take a punt on him. Turned out to be a very expensive mistake. As you say, he gave his all and worked hard - I felt sorry for the lad and wish him all the best, BUT McInnes persevered with him for too long. Most of us could see he was never going to get back to any kind of form - I guess McInnes just didn't want to give up on it due to the money he cost. I'd probably still rather have him than Curtis Main though.
