I agree that this statistics are not very bad for a MC even for long term. In my experience, some MC performed very badly, say 5-5-5, on joining the team but would eventually develop to quite good players. As I remember, 2 such MC were used to be my all time best assisters (for 2 different teams) before overtaking by others later.
I generally believed that some players are more injury prone, and have no idea if the best players are easily injured. But I cannot remember very well because i don't have obvious injury problem in these 2 seasons. Now I use very red packs very cautiously. Generally I don't use them on injuries with players out for less than 4 days unless there is no replacement for that player. Eventually, my accumulated red packs rises significantly.
If you want to sell him, he is more attractive before promoting to next star. But this may be less obvious if you are in low level.
