Can we just keep him in a box until match time, like Ledley and Romario? No trading, just playing. Would this stop his body, which appears to be made of whimsy, breaking down all the time?

Until such time that we solve our long-standing ST2 issue, I'd suggest it wouldn't be the worst thing to give Harry the same treatment too.
 
Quite possibly the Spurs player I love most alongside Kane. Puts in a shift 100% of the time, and is ALWAYS great when he plays, which is sadly not often because of his fucking injuries. The fact that he just bleeds Tottenham makes him even better. Genuinely did not understand why some people wanted him gone in the summer, he's as good as any bench attacking player of the top sides, maybe Mahrez excluded.

Why Some People Will Never Admit They're Wrong

Psychological rigidity is not a sign of strength.

''The answer is related to their ego, their very sense-of-self. Some people have such a fragile ego, such brittle self-esteem, such a weak "psychological constitution," that admitting they made a mistake or that they were wrong is fundamentally too threatening for their egos to tolerate. Accepting they were wrong, absorbing that reality, would be so psychologically shattering, their defense mechanisms do something remarkable to avoid doing so — they literally distort their perception of reality to make it (reality) less threatening. Their defense mechanisms protect their fragile ego by changing the very facts in their mind, so they are no longer wrong or culpable.''

''But psychological rigidity is not a sign of strength, it is an indication of weakness. These people are not choosing to stand their ground; they’re compelled to do so in order to protect their fragile egos. Admitting we are wrong is unpleasant, it is bruising for any ego. It takes a certain amount of emotional strength and courage to deal with that reality and own up to our mistakes. Most of us sulk a bit when we have to admit we're wrong, but we get over it.

But when people are constitutionally unable to admit they’re wrong, when they cannot tolerate the very notion that they are capable of mistakes, it is because they suffer from an ego so fragile that they cannot sulk and get over it — they need to warp their very perception of reality and challenge obvious facts in order to defend their not being wrong in the first place.

How we respond to such people is up to us. The one mistake we should not make is to consider their persistent and rigid refusal to admit they’re wrong as a sign of strength or conviction, because it is the absolute opposite — psychological weakness and fragility.''
