Keeps It tidy
Hates Messi
He would probably start getting injured too if he came here(plus he is not that good).SOS Seamus Coleman.
We'll probably have to pay an exhorbitant amount, but feck it, lets get him.

He was the best RB in the league last year.He would probably start getting injured too if he came here(plus he is not that good).
He'd instantly become our best full-back/wing-back.He would probably start getting injured too if he came here(plus he is not that good).
I don't think people are blaming him directly, it's just built up frustration because he is always injured, understandable really. It's at the point now where you have to say enough is enoughPathetic comments tbh. He got head-butted on his cheekbone and somehow that's his fault?
"Rafael had a fresh injury so it was fantastic that he had the guts to play through. He has a fantastic mentality, it's unbelievable. But I had to change him and Shaw because they aren't 100 per cent fit.
Yep, it's nothing new with Rafael, we know he's unreliable and ridiculously injury prone... But it's becoming a major issue with Shaw now.More concerned about Shaw tbf.
Yeah, everything you said is true, but you know what else is true? Rafael is insanely injury prone, and will never be a reliable player for us.First of all this injury isn't down to a weak body or a reoccurring injury, he got a knock ffs.
Secondly its only a fractured cheek bone, with an injection and/or one of those Zoro mask he should be able play at the weekend.
But he's probably gonna be close to 90 minute fitness by Sunday to face Southampton, so once he adds to us beating them its fine in my books. One game at a time.Yeah, everything you said is true, but you know what else is true? Rafael is insanely injury prone, and will never be a reliable player for us.
The right-back position remains an issue in our squad that will have to be rectified in the summer, think we'll get by 'til then.But he's probably gonna be close to 90 minute fitness by Sunday to face Southampton, so once he adds to us beating them its fine in my books. One game at a time.
Or until one gets injured. Or both.feck it, make a bid for clyne. that's both full back positions sorted for the next decade or so
That always, always, sounds really painful.The right-back position remains an issue in our squad that will have to be rectified in the summer, think we'll get by 'til then.
Rafael probably injure himself reading the word.That always, always, sounds really painful.
I don't think he'll be out for long. He played on after the injury until half time, and it happened fairly early on. I think he could even play next weekend if he has it strapped up or wears a mask. If it was a severe fracture, I think he would have come off right away. I'm just guessing though.You don't hit a football with a cheek most of the time so get on with it and play.
Eh?You don't hit a football with a cheek most of the time so get on with it and play.
I unfortunately have to agree with this. He looked like he can become a top FB but he barely can stay fit for five games in a row which also means that he most likely will never get the playing time to really fulfill his potential a bit like with Smalling and Jones unfortunately. What's the use of having talented defenders if all they will ever be are talents that never get going due to being to injury prone. I say all three of them need a good alternative that can be a starter for us and if the injury prone bunch can't compete with them then it's time to say goodbye sooner or later.Is the Caf love in affair with this crock finally over? Good RB at best and not fancied by anyone other than rose tinted United fans. Ok, todays injury is not really his fault but he is so injury prone it's untrue. I really, really hope LvG chooses to get rid and buy a replacement sooner rather than later.
Get a batman mask on him and get on with it.Eh?
An injury is an injury, no matter where it is on the body.
I don't think anyone is criticizing him for his current injury, just the bigger picture.A non-injury prone full back would have absorbed that headbutt like a heavyweight champ, and his opponent would have been stretchered off with a brain hemorrhage, and later forced to retire from the game.
But no. Rafael had to have the skull of a human being, and that's below the level we expect. He should be sold this month. But who is going to want to invest in a player with a skull that can't even take a solid midair headbutt?
We should bring in Dani Alves. He's the wrong side of 30, but I once saw him stop a moving train with his chin. He's made of better stuff than Rafael and his bones made of dog biscuits.
Yeah. And the Left Back Position.The right-back position remains an issue .
Ask him to wear that Batman mask. Why do you think footballers wear that after an injury to the face?Eh?
An injury is an injury, no matter where it is on the body.
We have no idea what type or how serious the injury is. If it turns out not to be serious then fair enough, but taking him off was the best thing to do. However it's not always as simple as sticking a mask on his face.Ask him to wear that Batman mask. Why do you think footballers wear that after an injury to the face?
You don't want to talk down a player you are preparing to sell.Van Gaal might have more regard for him than I thought:
Seriously though, who would buy a player who is constantly injured? Those of you wanting to get rid of our injury prone players need to consider this. We cannot buy from ourselves.You don't want to talk down a player you are preparing to sell.
