Our handling of Mensah

[MonkeyLove]

No criticisim of our medical staff but from what they were saying the other day Mensah didnt finish a full game for us last season because of his injuries and coming off early.

Has he not in the 4 games for Ghana at the WC not played 3 out of the 4, finished 90 minutes in 2 and is on the cusp of playing 2 whole hours tonight just 3/4 days after his last game.

He doesnt exactly look broken either, just as tired as every other player. Does this not seem a bit strange?

I think their winter is a bit warmer than ours, which must play a part in his injury problems.

Time to get the chequebook out, looks fit to me!

Think Ghana should be grateful to out medical staff for looking after him so well

A season is 38 + cup games, the World Cup isn't

Not sure how that would impact him, but anyway there last 2 games have been at night when it is colder - It was under 15 degrees there tonight.

Eh? But surely he has just played a 38 game season, and cup games, and is now playing a highly intensive tournament that takes it out of even the best players.

Its not like he has had a year off for this, he has had a few weeks since the 38 game season you speak of

Mensah finished about 5 games for us, like

And the odds of him being fit for the quarter finals are ???

We should sign him without any shadow of a doubt. Best centre half at the world cup by a mile
