Maybe the most recent operations he has had will turn out to make a difference, but until he actually trains and plays for an extended period, we can't know. It's hardly surprising that Bennell's management team (and Bennell himself) would be spruiking the latest treatment as the "wonder cure" as they try to get him another opportunity, but the proof will be in the pudding.
So there's nothing incorrect about Mr Magoo's observations about his calves. Nor anything to suggest he hasn't already read the same media spin as you have.
I'm neither particularly "for" or "against" the recruitment of Bennell. But whichever club does recruit him (if any do), will do so knowing they are speculating somewhat.
