Kleberson

The normal recuperation time for a dislocated shoulder is 6-8 weeks. I heard 6 in Kleb's case, but he was injured in late August so it must be just a case of finding when to play him. Hopefully we'll see him in midweek.

Thanx Gazza. Have you heard if he's back in training yet ?

hey Gazza, are you the United physio or tea boy?? Can i have some of the players autograph please?? :) :)
 
Physio? Don't be silly. The man Fergie was on the phone to today, that was me. ;)

No sorry I don't know if he's training, but unless there was a setback I haven't heard about then he should be back shortly.

Poor Kleb seems to have slipped off the radar recently.

What a 'kin sissy. I played a match one day after I dislocated my shoulder.

That being said, I've dislocated it about 35 times, so it's no biggy to me really.

It appears that Martin Ferguson scouted the wrong player!!!

Kleberson the right man

Manchester United have laughed off reports claiming they bought the wrong player when they landed Brazilian star Kleberson during the summer.

The 24-year-old midfielder cost United £7m from Athletico Paranaense - but rumours have spread that Sir Alex Ferguson's representative in South America spent his scouting missions watching the wrong man.

According to the claims United were supposedly looking for a player to replace David Beckham or Juan Sebastian Veron when they were recommended the World Cup winner.

Shortly after signing United's first Brazilian, Ferguson announced that they had landed "an adaptable player".

"He can play on the right and in the centre of midfield and I do believe he has played right full-back in the past," added the United manager.

As yet Ferguson has had little chance to put his theory to the test and disprove the doubters.

Kleberson has been out of action since dislocating his shoulder in only his second Premiership start on 31 August.

The Brazilian is now back in training and expected to be playing again next month.

Newcastle manager Sir Bobby Robson tried to sign Kleberson during last season's winter transfer window but the deal fell through.
 
I can't think of another Brazilian midfielder more suited to the premiership, says one expert on South American football.

I reckon that once he finds his feet he'll become a good player for us.
 
Did he leave them with his 12 year old girlfriend as a keepsake?
