I don’t think it was anything out of the ordinary. He missed some games at the start after halving his head turned by PL interest last summer. But I don’t think there were any significant injury issues. Played all of the 2nd half of the season.
He’s not a Grimes replacement. More like Jay - gets stuck in and a bit of aggression about him. He was probably their best player when we last played them (a while ago now though).
Aye, looks like he had a knee injury on 3rd October that was expected to keep him out for 2 months, but he next played 3 months later. After that, seems like he was an ever-present. Much prefer to see one injury that kept him out for a chunk of time rather than lots of injuries that add up to a lot of accumulated time out.
Doesn't seem like much of an injury history at all, hardly reason to label him injury-prone or to throw toys out of the pram that we're only signing perma-crocked players.
