Apart from the 14/15 season Carrick has picked up just 7 injuries since joining United 10 years ago. Bastian has picked up 16 injuries in his past 4 seasons.

That's poor showing. Even Pep had a little dig at Bastian on his way to us in reference to his injuries.

That's the whole point, we all know Bastian was a world class player once but injuries have had a big effect on his career in recent years to the point of both Pep and Jose not needing him anymore. I get why LVG got him, he was cheapish and a player which great experience who understood his philosophy. Now LVG has gone Jose has no need for him.

Can't argue with that. Like I've already mentioned, his experience could have been useful but his ability to stay injury free was always going to play a huge part in Jose's decision.

What's that got to do with anything? England have been known for years for ignoring the more technical players like Carrick and Scholes. You brought up Bastian and his Euro performances, not me.

Bastian wasn't a starter for German and only started or came on for injured players or to play the last few minutes and in the one game he did start he conceded a penalty and Germany lost. He isn't a DM, he's only operated the role for 2-3 years in a time where he has had persistent knee injuries. Carrick gets niggles but not the same injuries, he's also been injury free for 9 months in which time Bastian has got 3 seperate knee injuries.

Niggles FFS 😀

He missed lots of games because of these niggles that's the fackin point

As for scweinsteiger injury situation its no worse now 12 months on from the utd medical staff sanctioning his move from bayern. He's was deemed fit to be released for the euros and probably performed better than most of the utd players that featured in France.
He was fit enough to run half the length of the pitch and half volley an ozil cross into the Ukraine net and fit enough to start and finish the Euro semi-final.
Jose getting rid without giving him a chance dosent prove anything about what Bastian is capable of this season. A season in which he would have been managed carefully the way Carrick needs to be.

Of course he's fit enough to run half way up a pitch having just come on. He isn't disabled.

Bastian in 1 year older I'm which he picked up even more injuries and in the same time Carrick picked up 1.

They way you've been banging on about him you would think he was disabled...😁

A quality goal from a guy than can still do it despite injury history and age if managed properly like Carrick needs to be.

The way I've been banging on about him? I said we don't need him and he's past his best and injury prone. I fully expect him to be able to run the length of a football pitch.

😃

Except it was a little more than a run up the pitch wasn't it. But telling it like it is dosent suit the ridulously bitter and hostile anti Bastian narrative you've been spouting since this whole thing kicked off.

Your first contribution to this thread is just a mild sample



But hey your just been a good little jose fan girl ... 😉

Spot on.

Valencia keeps proving his worth so far this season. His crossing has changed from knee damage to opps to assists. He's no Gary but will work his socks off trying to be. He'll stay. Bastien should be sold to a less physically demanding league, only for a fair fee, no less.
