Injury Free Pass

Bearing in mind that we just suffered the worst season of injuries in the history of the PL.

If you could give an Injury Free Pass to one player next season who would that be and why?

I'm going for Daley Blind.

I believe he is the first name down on LVG's team sheet and I have come round to thinking he is vital to the rhythm/engine of the team.

To me he's a downgrade on Daren Fletcher.

Then you are an absolute idiot.

That's not very nice but I should have been clearer. I meant a downgrade on the DF before his illness.

Blind is still better.

Fletch was average at best, and only mustered a season and a half where he was decent.

City would edge it as I see them buying some big players.

You can't really come to any type of educated guess until you know who they buy.

A fit squad for 38 games would mean 38 x Toure, Silva and Aguero.

A second season Mangala plus purchases that would improve both flanks.

And they'd be unbeatable - until we came good.

Please stop talking bollox.

Your lack of football knowledge is staggering.

Really not seeing anything in Blind that's better than Fletcher at his best. Blind has actually impressed me more in defence than midfield.

I'd sooner have Carrick, Herrera, Mata and even Fellaini in our midfield.

I think Blind will be one of those players who will get a lot of game time but won't have a set position as such.

He has impressed me this season wherever he has played and considering it is his first season with United has done very well IMO.

Having said that I don't think that I would want him in my best first XI if (big if as well) everyone is fit and on form but I would have no issues either if he came into the first XI even during our most difficult games. I trust him to do a job for us and I am sure he would.

He reads the game better, is a better passer, and is always looking for the ball.

Fletch ran around a lot.

Darren Fletcher is the most overrated footballer in the history of Manchester United. He was never above average for a starting midfielder at a top club.

Blind? Really? A squad player at best. Not a good passer of the ball, little pace, little skill. Not even a great tackler. To me he's a downgrade on Daren Fletcher. He just has better fitness and youth on his side to improve.

I guess that was Fletch with the Hollywood Pass to RVP in The World Cup....ffs m8, Blind is a fine player, give him a break.
