If you could pick one injury plagued player to replay their entire career completely injury free, for your team, who are you taking?

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

Hmmmm....

 

[galwayfa]

Paul McGrath or Norman Whiteside

 

[Fortitude]

You’re going to have to take out a certain Brazilian for this thread to not become a homage.

 

[Lay]

Is it ex players for your team or any player in history?

 

[The Irish Connection]

You’re going to have to take out a certain Brazilian for this thread to not become a homage.

Yup

 

[Longlivekeano]

Easy. Robbo

 

[Realismo]

Ronaldo Nazario easily, he destroyed people being overweight, if he stayed fit too, it would be crazy.

If not the obvious choice, maybe Robben, always liked him but he was too injury prone.

Anderson if he didn't discover McDonald's is the winner for sure.

 

[Bocca9978]

Paul McGrath or Norman Whiteside

Were they injured a lot then? Sorry, just before my time.

 

[always_hoping]

Ryan Giggs, so many injuries he considered retiring aged 27. altered his training regime and diet plan to continue playing until he was 40.

 

[Pass and Move]

Duncan Edwards

 

[matt10000]

Robbo, Whiteside, McGraph , Giggs, Neil Webb, but Robbo no 1

 

[matt10000]

Robbo, Whiteside, McGraph , Giggs, Neil Webb, but Robbo no 1

….and a sober Best

 

[altodevil]

Outside of Ronaldo, I like Deisler.

 

[FrankDrebin]

RVP, Saha, Hargreaves.

Don’t think u read the question properly

 

[Pickle85]

Ronaldo Nazario easily, he destroyed people being overweight, if he stayed fit too, it would be crazy.

Yup, Ronaldo for me too. And Phil Jones.

 

[altodevil]

Don’t think u read the question properly

Explain

 

[The Purley King]

Not a Utd player, but I really rated Dean Ashton when he came through, looked like he was going to be a possible superstar, just got picked for England then a career ending injury.

 

[JogaBonitoRooney]

Yep otherwise everyone would say Neymar.

Maybe Robben or Reus otherwise.

 

[Righteous Steps]

R9

 

[rimaldo]

bruno fernandes. i think it would have really clicked into place if he’d played those extra 12 minutes.

 

[Blood Mage]

Alexandre Pato might have won a ballon d'Or had he not been made of glass, looked very special as a teenager.

Rafael and Fabio might have become two of the best fullbacks around also. And then of course you have Louis Saha, what a career he might have had.

 

[Oranges038]

Emre
Ledley King
Paul McGrath
Owen
Vieri

Duncan Edwards

I don't think death counts as being injury plagued. Or was he injury prone before the plane crash?

 

[FrankDrebin]

A fit and dedicated Recoba would've been great.

 

[SouthernRedDev]

Phil Jones, would have been interesting to see what he could have achieved.

More memes.

 

[MayfieldsFinest]

Marco Van Basten. Easy.

 

[Lyricist]

Marco Reus

 

[Lay]

Mario Gotze

 

[Rossa]

Ryan Giggs, so many injuries he considered retiring aged 27. altered his training regime and diet plan to continue playing until he was 40.

He said once in an interview he never ran flat out since he was 20 - and he was still bloody quick and brilliant. It makes you wonder what a player he could have been if not for injuries.

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

Is it ex players for your team or any player in history?

Any players.

 

[Rossa]

Phil Jones, would have been interesting to see what he could have achieved.

Agreed. We had Phil Jones and Anderson who were both extremely highly rated, and both had the potential to be great players for us. Unfortunately, both struggled with injuries to the derailment of their careers.

 

[FrankDrebin]

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

Adriano, Pato, Ben Arfa, Ledley King......

 

[Hammondo]

Not going to be a popular one, but Rafael da Silva.

 

[devilish]

Ronaldo (the Brazilian) or Roberto Baggio. They would have easily become the best players the EPL had ever seen.

 

[Lay]

Del Piero if he never had the ACL

 

[Schmiznurf]

You’re going to have to take out a certain Brazilian for this thread to not become a homage.

Haha exactly, his was the first name that came to my mind.
