Transfermarkt says he's been injured with reoccurring injuries close to 300 days the last 2-3 years. That's a lot. You can also just look at his thread on Man Utds forum. His injury proneness is the biggest complaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is 100% an upgrade on Engels and House Agree But at the same time it's not Hause and Engels I'm comparing him to, if you value him at £15-20m it's who else is then available and I believe that for that value we should be able to do better Engels and Hause were £10m combined, I'd put Tuanzebe at around £10m tops, man utd won't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) An alternative prospect to Charles De Ketelaere https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/charles-de-ketelaere/profil/spieler/435772 who I mentioned yesterday from Club Brugge is Christoph Baumgartner from Hoffenheim. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christoph-baumgartner/profil/spieler/324278 Both play similar positions and obtainable IMO and an upgrade on Hourihane. Suat Serdar from schalke is another name worth monitoring as a long term option. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/suat-serdar/profil/spieler/261905 I’d like us to sign Kristoffer Ajer from Celtic @ CB who could be our next Laursen or Mellberg.

Popular Post Farlz Posted December 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2020 Dele Alli doesn't fit in our side whatsoever, I don't quite understand the suggestions for him. If we didn't have Barkley then yes that would be a different story. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayk Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I can’t believe Tuanzebe has been injured that much.......how can he be when he’s not even played?? When he was with us he was pretty much injury free right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) Interesting vid on the new work permit rules that will impact the PL. (not sure how true etc etc) Apparently South Americans (Argentina/Brazil), will have a much easier time getting points for PL approval, meaning (apparently), that South American signings for young talent will be much easier........maybe we need to be on that in Jan. Also, discussion around purchasing of foreign clubs as some kind of feeder club, we need to do something like that.

Thats worse for me shows he picks up numerous injuries. Look at how many games he has started All lengthy too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Strange window this one, every club (including ours) is struggling financially due to covid. I guess some good deals are there to be had in this window especially in the foreign market.. but it really depends as we aren’t exactly immune to the situation either.

It's hip and thigh. I would know as I've got the same injury myself. Hip, thigh, groin are often injuries that are hard to pinpoint. I went to several specialists at the olympic medical center here, and the injury and pain are often diffuse and slide across all these areas. I'm no physio mind so I'm sure if there's a physio here they could explain better. I'm utterly **** from upper thigh through groin to pulsating hip pain. I might be wrong in zebe's case, but it's easily something that could be one spesific issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 McGinn injury really hurt us. Barkleys injury we suffered at first. It disrupts the squad and team, why would you purchase a player knowing they'll be out for 2-3 months a season. No thanks. Plenty of players out there and it's what the scouting team are payed for.
