Its comments like these that make me believe this site should also regularly revisit the "full member" status members and see if they should still have the status.
Of course no one realistically thinks he can be transferred while injured. Once in a while he is also NOT injured in case you missed it. If he really wanted a move, I am sure something could have been worked out, that may include not risking him.
And it’s contributions like yours that makes me think we need to re-visit the newbie fast-tracking policy.
Phil Jones obviously thought he had a future at United. He has consistently got games when available. He averaged 20 league games in 17/18 and 18/19 (Bailly made 12 and 13 appearances during those same two seasons)
It’s all gone to shit under Ole but that’s because he’s been literally
constantly injured. Funnily enough, long term injured players aren’t in great demand at other clubs. If/when he can finally get fit and Ole lets him know he’s not wanted then he can move on. Meanwhile we’re stuck with him and he’s stuck with us.
