This x 10000000000000000000000000000000000000Daft injuries?
He was played when not fit by Keane, put him out for months.
He had his arm broken by Defoe, put out for months.
He had the plate removed, arm broken again put him out for months.
He had tendinitis in his knee and was played when unfit putting him out for a year.
I'd say he has been badly managed more than anything.
People bang on about him being 'injury prone', yet he has had just 4 injuries in his time here, it's just unlucky that they seem to be serious when he gets them. Players like Mensah are injury prone. Brown, O'Shea and Richardson have missed numerous games this season, should we ship them for being injury prone?
Yes Mignolet is only 23, and yes he is likely to improve. Will he be better than Gordon in the future? He might be, he certainly has the potential. But we are not a club who is able to afford potential in such a key area. Gordon is the better keeper right now, so he is the 1 we should be playing and trying our upmost to keep at the club.
We spent £8m on 'potential' last summer in Wickham. He is only 19, yet some have written him off already. Mignolet has potential but should be given games no matter what.
Strange place this board at times.
Well done sir for actually having eyes
