What exactly is the purpose of your first sentence? Specifically the whole "yours not among them" thing?You answered my post to begin with, which adressed a swarm of takes here on the subject, yours not among them. One of the examples claimed it will be ‘irresponsible’ to buy him, and asked wether United staff are not aware of injury records of this and previous buys. That is putting oneself well above the medical professionals who - which I wrote, and I suspect you know and omitted consciously from your answer - contribute with more than medicals. They are obviously conferred with when weighing up a multi million bidding process and negotiation about any player with an easily accessible record of previous injuries.
Having had injuries in the past is - in my understanding at least - not the same as being prone to injuries in the present and future, which is a question of likelihood based on circumstances. It depends on the causes of previous injuries and how they align with the present situation and future demands. Medical experts can assess that with much better precision than counting and common sense.
The post I responded to featured such jibes as "what qualifications do you guys have?" and "do you have medical degrees?" Essentially being extremely dismissive towards other posters in a weird condescending tone that hit its reductive peak when you summed up all of their points as "what do you know, I've red[sic] transfermarkt and I say he's i jury[sic] prone."
Based off those comments and your aforementioned opener, it doesn't sound as if you're at all interested in discussion on the subject, unless trying to bar people from discussing it in the first place counts.
But if you still think that it is unreasonable to be concerned over the potential signing of a player who has missed 2-6 months of football in five of the last five seasons of his professional career, then that is your prerogative.
And if you want to ignore all points to the contrary, while ironically making weird accusations that people are "consciously omitting" points you never made to them, then you can do that to. Just don't expect them to entertain you any further.
