At what point do you look at the likes of James and Mina and think that their limited minutes of quality make the games missed a necessary evil?
With Rohl, Moyes can say hes the next Zidane but if you look at his injury history and game time over the past few seasons then he's never even played half a seaons worth of minutes in the bundesliga.
Tyler Dibling played more premier league minutes last season than Merlin Rohl has ever achieved in the Bundesliga.
This may sound silly but to have athleticism and speed around the pitch is one thing, but using them as an injury prone player surely leads to more consistent and serious injuries.
