Why was Ruud's worse than Strootman's? I thought both required full ACL reconstruction?
For Ruud, it was the second injury on the same knee and i believe that Ruud broke his ACL while Strootman torned it.
I don't thnk it's possible to break the anterior cruciate ligament.
It indeed isn't, Ruud ruptured his ACL is what I think he was after saying
You'd think that eh. United's transfer policies never cease to amaze me.
It was Ruud's second ACL tear? Or are you talking about the slight medial ligament concern which caused him to fail his medical? Because the latter won't factor into it. And - like I said - I was under the impression they both needed complete reconstructive surgery, meaning there's not much difference between the severity of their respective injuries.

I would be happy with Shaw, Strootman and Sanchez along with another CM and a CB.

Cheers. The original injury - the one picked up in a training match which caused him to fail his medical - was to his medial ligament, not his ACL. Though the ML issue might have contributed to the subsequent ACL tear, it doesn't make Ruud's injury more severe than Strootman's.
On the injury in itself you're right but a player who contract injuries twice on the same knee is a huge risk.
For the moment there is no particular chronic situation for Strootman.
Positive news. Even so I don't think we can afford to wait two months. Sign him but don't make him the only CM we sign this summer. We need two anyway.
Agreed.
Fab would be absolute ideal signing. Not the youngest but there's nobody young whos at his level bar a pogba or veratti sort of talent. Wouldn't solve all midfield problems but would help a lot
According to jamie Jackson, we are prioritising a striker over midfielders at the minute, which is truly baffling if true. Can't link the article.
I'd be ecstatic with that.
Don't think we're getting Sanchez, though I don't think we need him either. He's a big money signing with no contribution to our gaping midfield issue. Especially with the fact that we've pretty much signed Konoplyanka. Yet another winger just doesn't make sense to me.
With the media saying we're in the lead for Cesc (could be just a slow news day for them), Shaw, Cesc, Strootman and Konoplyanka seem like the ideal transfer season for us. Signings that remind me of van Gaal's appointment in a way. Not the best of the best by far, but definitely the best we have available.

Where's he said that as it's not in his latest article about the Chelsea/Fabregas thing?
Yes it is.
edit: hang on, they've just edited that article and removed the reference to focus on a striker. Odd.
the thoughts and processes of Manchester United. If true we are feckedI will literally scream if we sign yet another striker before a decent midfielder again..
Phewww.
Knobend. You've got Fatman and Robin for the 2 next years.
The 1st and 3rd highest goal scorers in the league over the last 3 years are already at the club. No need for any changes in that department this summer.
I'm really tired of all this speculation, every day there are 5, 6 different news, interested in this, interested in that one, bid here, bid there, we're not longer interested in one player, we're interested again in another.. and then tomorrow completely different set of news..

Linked to so many Dutch players yet none of them actually seem that impressive. I'm guessing the Dutch national team isn't exactly overflowing with talent atm?
I'm using thatStrootman would not be the most logical choice.
Sure, he'd be a great little player. However not the most logical signing we could make if he's currently recovering from an ACL rupture or tear or whatever his condition is. He also hasn't played in yonks. 30 mil for an injured player who we have no guarantee that he'll get back to his best isn't logical; that's stupid business.
I can see your point, but he will recover from it , RvN had the same injury I think and he came back even better.
I did mention that I did not want another Hargreaves on our books, I dont really think that will ever happen again.
Some would say that even Rooney hasn't been the same player since his ankle injuries.
Most people make complete recoveries from acl tears and the chance of re injuring it is the same as the chance to injure your other knee if they make a complete recovery. That's what I was told at least.
I think the point is that post injury rehab, the players subconsciously play at a lower performance level. A mental thing perhaps.
IIRC there was a research on that. Allegedly after ACL tears your acceleration speed decreases significantly.
We're not even being linked to big players. And in the rare instance we are, we seem to 'turn' them down or other clubs start showing real interest. I feel like giving Woodward a piece of my mind ATM.
Ain't Woodward who picks our targets..
Yes, but his job is to acquire the targets, right? Surely we must be having a shortlist now - why aren't we getting a couple of deals done? At least the smaller ones, like backup for RB?
A piece of your mind saying what, you have absolutely no idea what is happening behind the scenes. And the only information any of us have is the rubbish that journalists literally just make up to sell papers.
Does the fact that we are reportedly 'not interested in' the likes of Kroos and Fabregas indicate that we are confident of landing even better midfielders? Surely it does, otherwise we would at least be interested in these players.
If so, who do you think they might be ?
