Hang on, what's this injury talk? Didn't Shaw come off at the same time? Can't both have been injured surely.
That's what van Gaal has said.Hang on, what's this injury talk? Didn't Shaw come off at the same time? Can't both have been injured surely.
I think the whole centre back scenario is far more pressing. We've got 3 there who make Rafael look ever available.so how many seasons do we have to play with backup right-backs until people realize that we cant rely on Rafael? Its possible to have injury pron attacking players, because its easier to rotate in this area, but defenders have to be stay fit for the majority of a season or they become a burden.
If that's true, then replacing him is an absolute priority (and yes, Coleman would be ideal.) I like the way Rafael plays (ie. he's not afraid to actually drive forward and beat a man,) but he is incapable of staying out of the treatment room.Got injured, played shit again, Coleman here we come!
Why shouldn't we sell? If he can't stay fit then there's no point keeping him.No way we should sell but we should definitely by a (first choice) right back who can be relied upon to play more games than not.
Yep. Time for a new one.I'd say the penny has dropped now. He's a popular player and a likable lad, but I think we're all fed up with him now at this stage.
Exactly. Enough is enough and it's bad luck for the lad but we need a right back. Really hope we won't be paying him 100k+ to sit on the bench we have enough of those playersI'd say the penny has dropped now. He's a popular player and a likable lad, but I think we're all fed up with him now at this stage.
Not til they start playing for us anyway.Should be bidding for Clyne or Coleman, both are at least as good if not better and aren't always injured.
Was it definitely an injury?
He's still young and has a lot of quality, plus loves the club and probably isn't on that much money (by United standards). If the injury problems persist for another few years then maybe we'd unfortunately have to consider it but not until then for me. I'll admit I love Rafa more than most others here so I understand people thinking otherwise.Why shouldn't we sell? If he can't stay fit then there's no point keeping him.
How long can one be out with a fractured cheekbone? Put a helmet on him and be done with it.
