Motta was also dogged by several injuries (as well as inconsistent performances), particularly one suffered on September 11, 2004 against Sevilla FC, which sidelined him for seven months, during his time at Barcelona. Motta would eventually need surgery to rebuild the anterior cruciate and lateral ligaments in his left knee. 
In August 2007, Motta moved to Atlético Madrid for €2M.[2]Once again, he began the season on the sidelines, injured. In a Copa del Rey quarterfinal match against Valencia, he was sent off after only 25 minutes. 
Motta was sent off during half time after hitting out at Celtic goalkeeper Robert Douglas, who was also shown the red card
In March, however, the recurrent knee problems reappeared, and Motta's season was over, after a successful surgery and rehabilitation in the United States.
I say no, injury prone and very hot headed, just what we dont need. im not doubting his talent, but we need players we can play and not players that will be injured or suspended.
