Completely different situation though, he got a pretty serious injury in March that was supposed to keep him out for like half a year and he's supposed to be back in August now. It's not like he had recurring problems before, more of an isolated situation.
Pjanic and De Rossi more important in midfield alone. Unless you call everyone in the starting 11 as a key player, but Benatia, De Rossi, Pjanic and Totti are all more important to them. Therefore no, he played really well, but he wasn't a key player.He was most definitely a key player prior to his injury.
This saga is going to drag all summer which will obviously end us with us not signing him.
Last I read on him is he's ahead of schedule and should be back in August, but originally it was supposed to be 4-5 months so its not too far ahead of schedule. No it's not ideal but he'd be a huge improvement on what we have so I wouldn't complain too much, considering we got Fellaini last yearWho said he's due back by August? I thought he won't be back until September? Either way, buying players with knee injures is risky and he will miss all of the pre-season so it will take a while for him to fully settle for the new season. It's not ideal at all.
30 mil for an injured midfielder is probably a bit daft. You want to make sure the injury doesn't affect him adversely before splurging on him.
Strootman on crutches will probably do better than Fellaini
Tore knee ligaments but not his ACL so not as serious, but still pretty serious. (at least I think that's what it was)What injury does he have and what is the extent of it.
Shouldn't you of all people know?What injury does he have and what is the extent of it.
Has anyone said that our bid for Shaw was rejected besides Jamie Jackson?
Not as far as I've seen.
He's obviously done this to take the piss.
I see it nowObvioulsy, it's a fake.
Obvioulsy, it's a fake.
Sky Italia confirms that Nani is very close to Juventus, the only thing that is missing is the agreement with Manchester United.
Isn't that tapping up then?
This guy has got a load of people following his every word on a major WUM about united losing the U21
Ditto.We could be getting Strootman and people are still moaning? van Gaal clearly knows his injury status as he was with him and RvP during his recovery. I'll be over the moon if we get him.
