I'd love for him to come back as he started the season. I think he was our best player in most of the games he played in last season. He is also criminally underrated by a lot of people.

Unfortunately I can't see it happening though. Would love to see him back to his best but I don't think it will happen. Would be a shame to see such a great talent wasted, he's got it all. Dribbling, pace, height and physicality etc etc.
I'm interested to know why you don't think he will be back to his best. There are tons of players who have had bone breaks and produced their best form.
Unlike muscle and ligament injuries, bone injuries rarely affect the player long term.
Think your being overly pessimistic.

I think it'll probably take time to shake off the cobwebs. He's not played a single match for a year.

That's inevitable. But the poster above is suggesting he may never be the same player.

To be brutally honest, mainly because I'm looking for tickets to a game. Plus the fact we've finally got a decent manager, so there'll hopefully be a lot less doom and gloom. Which was draining.
:lol: Man couldn't take another season of Van Gaal.

Good to see Shaw back training with the others. Hopefully he'll be ready for the start of the season, although I'm not too worried about left back.

He will, he had already started training with the first team towards the end of last season. :)

He'll be fine. Better than fine. He's got everything he needs (not just the ability, but support and belief from the club) to be the best left back in the league for the next decade.

Very happy to see you back posting, mate! Always a voice of reason.

First game is against Wigan.

This is off topic but Jackson also states that Phil Jones will be first choice next season next to Chris Smalling.

Looking forward to it.

In the Phil Jones news - I think it's because he's in the Terry-mold.

Mourinho is great at stopping injuries, if he can get Phil Jones fit, and i mean IF, then he will be fantastic for us.
Even on the rare occasions he's fit he's pretty terrible for us. Hopefully just guess work as usual from Jackson.

Whilst he has all the grace of a mattress as well as an utter disregard for personal safety, he's had enough games where he's been good to have hope (bolstered by a good dose of Jose).

But Shaw's back! Hooray. Best player (worst trousers) at the club last season until the injury.

Jones is so overrated. Wish we sold him last year.
Jones is class but because of injures, I am also sick of him.

As for Shaw, why is everyone so confident he'll be back at his best? I am genuinely asking because I am not good with injuries and stuff so I have personally been very sad about the prospects. Wasn't eduardo never the same player after his injury?

Could someone give me reason to believe he will be back playing like he was?

Depends on the player. You cite Eduardo but Henrik Larsson broke his twice and came back better.

Shaw is young and has had great medical attention and a sensible time to recover. He may not come back the same, but there's a good chance he will. Optimism my dear Shamans, optimism.

Fair enough. Sounds like it doesn't mean he will never be the player he could have been. I am optimistic. Even if he doesn't become what was once promised he will do the job!

Brilliant to have him fit and ready to play. He's been really upbeat and positive throughout it all so hopefully it won't affect him mentally.
