Why do people keep saying his injury record is awful when he played 87 games in three seasons
He had a few injuries but he’s not missed loads and has scored one in three this season and last
And for everyone saying ‘why do we always go back’…
Corrrct me if I’m wrong, the last one was Idrissa Gueye who’s been our best outfield player the last two seasons along with Branthwaite imo
Before that all I can think is Rooney which was dumb but he still scored double figures if I remember right including some boss memories like the halfway line goal against West Ham and the penalty at the pit
Before that was what Pienaar about 20 years ago and the fee was fine and he still played pretty well
Who am I missing?
Now if you want to say we keep signing aging players on high wages who keep getting knocks so their injuries could get worse I accept that is a fair point. Personally I’d take the risk.
