That's the problem, if he crossed his fingers he would probably strain something.

Joking aside I have no doubts of his ability just his fitness.

yeah its a potentially huge problem, hopefully the impressively meticulous medical team at the club will be able to sort him out

Am wondering if its an English thing with early traini.g putting too much physical stress on the players. wilsher micah and Rodwell all of an age.

Can't wait for those who laughed at us when we bought him to eat their words when Jack starts putting in the shift week in week out.

If he can stay fit, I think he is an excellent player. It's a big if, though.

I hope I'm wrong, but my gut instinct is I just don't see him staying fit through an entire season - but then again up until a couple of years ago the same could have been said of van Persie...

Undoubtedly a talented player, but because of the injuries, a bit of a strange buy last summer.

Similar build to Gerrard and similar fitness problems he had at the same age.

I can't see it happening, He's never had a decent run of games. We were all told at Everton that he was a great prospect,but never really got to see anything of him. He's looks the part, but them hamstrings are well ropey.

Hope your wrong!

Good player, reminds me of Huddlestone when he was young and actually looked good at Derby.
