Yes, he has.

Previous 2 seasons he had 125 days out injured with pulled hamstrings, thigh strains and muscular problems.

The evidence was there. And ignored.

Dunno Y’know mate. According to this source he’s only missed 12 games in 3 season.

Have you seen the number of thigh and general muscle problems he's had? And a hamstring injury on top of those.

To throw £35M on someone with that pile of injuries is reckless. There can be no other way of looking at it IMO.

Where are you getting 35 mil from?

We’d never have bought Peter Reid based on that though. Sometimes you need to take a chance.
 
Leaked pre-season dialogue after JPG joins.

Silva: “Look lad, you’re fit, but you’ve picked up a couple of thigh problems over the years which is natural as a pro athlete. What we’re gonna do though is take you straight from the AFCON tournament, skip pre-season as it’s just a bunch of rondo’s & throw you into the most athletic and fast paced league in world football. Got that?”

Silva: “Alright lads, everyone stand on the penalty spot, we’re gonna practice defending a corner”

It is being built up into being a big deal because we are in the relegation zone. There seems to be a perception that if Gbamin were to get fit then suddenly our troubles would be over... he has barely played for us and is still settling into the club. We had a similar situation with Gomes last year and we probably had the same knee jerkers reacting in the same way then.

I think we have one player injured, everybody else available to play.
We cannot use injuries as an excuse for poor performances.
 
Peter Reid was bought for a bargain basement fee of 60 grand.
At the time the club had to change banks to get enough money together to sign Peter Reid , we were completely strapped for money at that time and we were refused finance by our current bank. I remember reading an article by Howard Kendall on his signing..... so, it was a far bigger risk then than signing Gbamin is now.
