Strange that you both concentrate on the first post, not the expanded one. All I need to know he is back in training, whatever that means to you. Hopefully for him we'll be back to talking about his performances rather than his fitness in the near future.
Davide Petrucci
- Thread starter LizardKing
- Start date
It's only relevant as to whether or not he will be playing soon, and it's all speculation anyway. None of us has any in-depth knowledge of Man Utds training regime in any case (apart from possibly PS18 or Mr MUJAC), so it's all moot.
I doubt if anyone here has a consumate knowledge of Utd's training regime, One might hear things or watch games but unless a poster is working for the club at that level no one is privy to what goes on in the physio's/locker room wherever
Some defo would as they'd know the parents of players etc
Which is still a secondary source, wouldn't place too much faith in it.
I'll answer your second one so.
Do you know Les Kershaw personally? Do you think that if he says that a player is back training, then he is back fully training doing full physical work, ball work and whatever else with the rest of the players? Do you have an insight knowledge that nobody else has?
First of all, you don't have to read the thread. Secondly, you don't have to respond to a question if you haven't actually got a clue what the answer is, especially when you are going to answer in such a condescending fashion. Also, how do you know that nobody outside the club knows exactly how he is doing. Fergie could have said something at a press conference, Petrucci might have talked in his local media, Rio might have said something on his Twitter, etc. Hence why I asked the question in the first place.
Asking if he has resumed full training does not show a lack of patience. It shows an interest. According to you anyway he is fully training, because apparently you think that Les Kershaw alluded to that fact, so really one could argue that we'd expect to see him very soon, since he is in fully training.
I think the pertinent point from Datura is that every update on Petrucci so far has been posted almost immediately in here by one or more people, so if nothing's been posted, it's safe to assume there's no new info.
Come on guys, the reserves forum is not the place for bitching about semantics.
Indeed - bring it into the main United forum so we can all join in!
So, I take it there's no major news on Petrucci? I just saw the thread being updated and was hoping for more to be honest...

"Promising injury news. Long-term absentee Davide Petrucci has taken part in last few Reserves training sessions. Comeback slow but steady."

be intresting to see what he will be like now, everybody was raving about him but 2 years of constant injury and he may not be the same talent.
Fletcher lost a similar amount of development time at pretty much the same age so that gives some cause for optimism. Hopefully he suffers no further setbacks in his recovery and he can finally turn out for us again soon.
Can't wait to see him play again.
Great news. A bit random but I suppose I'll share it, my Dad was watching MUTV when Petrucci got off the team bus. He paused the TV and called everyone in to show them that my double was playing for United. Ever since then I've wanted Petrucci to succeed even more! 
Well with your name - it makes sense that you want to have his looks!Great news. A bit random but I suppose I'll share it, my Dad was watching MUTV when Petrucci got off the team bus.

Didn't Gerrard miss a similar amount at the same age too?
I think Gerrard missed a lot of football between the ages of 14 and 16, so a bit younger but I doubt that makes much difference in the grand scheme of things.
Gerrard had back problems regularly til about 20-21.
Is there an actual name for that problem other than back problems? As far as I was aware Gerard's problems were directly related to growth spurts and the danger of risking serious long term issues by playing and even training during that period.
I have no idea, all I remember is that when he was coming into the England setup he was quite regularly unavailable because of it. I also remember hearing some time recently that his back problems were cured when he had his wisdom teeth removed (?!?!)
Gerrard also had a lot of groin problems during his growth spurt too (same problem as Petrucci has had) - I seem to recall Gerrard having to have a number of operations on his groin during his early years.
I'd love to see him back. I'd be a huge pity if a bad injury ruins what looked like a very promising career.
On the bench for the reserves today
Yes!!!!!!
Brilliant!
When's the game and who are we playing?
When's the game and who are we playing?
The game is v Oldham in the Mcr Senior cup. We're 1-0 up through King apparently:

Oldham, and we are 1-0 up, thanks to a goal from King..
United make it 2-0. King again from another Obertan pass. 46 mins
King scoring, Obertan assisting, The Second Coming of The Second Coming. Not a bad Sunday.
Bebe makes it 3-0, and Petrucci makes his comeback coming on for the Bebster.
Great news that the lad is back, hopefully he can put the niggly injuries behind him and push on.
King has to be considered for Crawley...at least sub then some part in the game. Here's hoping anyway
Lovely stuff. Presume this isn't on telly?
Nope, it's a behind closed doors game like the one v Bury. The highlights are on MUTV tomorrow night.
King seems to be too good for the reserves. Hope he will get a good loan deal next season.
Good to see Petrucci back and that he gets back to his best soon and makes up for what he's missed

I think King will be involved v Crawley next week.
King certainly staking a claim for a place in the squad. You think when Macheda scored a hatrick for the reserves against Newcastle, to get a place on the bench for the Villa game. King is doing all the right things to be involved in some form.
What happened?. How did he play?. Fanboi present
Seriously though, i do hope he kicks off and doesn't get those nasty injuries.

Yeah. I can also see Morrison on the bench and perhaps Brady.
