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.

Who 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.
 
He was most definitely a key player prior to his injury.
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.

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 year :lol:
 
What injury does he have and what is the extent of it.
Tore knee ligaments but not his ACL so not as serious, but still pretty serious. (at least I think that's what it was)

Edit: Actually apparently it was his ACL, ,weird that he should be back so quickly, probably wasn't a complete tear then. I thought usually it took like 9 months or so to recover from that.

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.
 


This guy has got a load of people following his every word on a major WUM about united losing the U21

Ditto.
 
The guy is a WUM. The thing is, if he wasn't such a penis at the start of the window, people might actually have taken his rumors to be real.
 
This time tomorrow he'll be tweeting the words "early next week" in relation to this story.
It'll be "next 48 hours" then it'll progress to "early next week".
