Ian Durrant
Marco Negri
Michael Mols
Gary Stevens

If I had to choose one of them it would be Ian Durrant

If i understand the question correctly (past and present?) - R9, easy.

Scarily good, and I don't even think we ever saw him at his full potential.

Ronaldo is the only correct answer. Unless you treat being dead as an injury.

From a United perspective - probably Louis Saha

Thomas Partey. So Arsenal couldn’t hide behind injuries for omitting him from the team, the rapey cnuuuut

R9 is probably the greatest player to suffer recurring injuries

CR7

It would have been interesting to see how the Messi-Ronaldo rivalry would have panned out if Ronaldo didn’t have tendinosis.

Ronaldo may have won a couple more Golden Balls and Golden Shoes.

I disagree. Made him the CF he became.

Another would be Neymar.

If it wasn’t for key injuries, I think Neymar would have won the 2018 World Cup and another CL. Surely a Golden Ball as well.

Van Basten or Ronaldo.
Gazza would be another one.

In terms of Arsenal - so many obvious ones - Wilshere, Diaby and Eduardo probably the biggest ones of recent times.

Fair point, you could argue his killer CF play was key to real doing the CL 3-peat

Fabian Caballero had potential to be better than Ronaldo until he got snapped in half by not one but two Dundee Utd players at the same time

Van Basten and Gazza are good shouts.

Van Basten is a good shout.

I think Holland would have won the 94 World Cup with a healthy Van Basten. They pushed Brazil without him, led by a young Bergkamp. A Van Basten - Bergkamp tandem would have been insane.

He’d already won the Euros and 3 Golden Balls, so with a World Cup he’d be in the discussion to be a Top 5 player all-time

This. Saha's goals to games ratio was insane. Had he seen consistently for he wouldnhave been one-off the best CFs ever.

Ledley King

Ian Storey Moore.

The only correct answer here is Phil Jones.

I'd say Luke Shaw over Jones, as Shaw managed to achieve so much DESPITE horrible Injuries

Gareth Bale

Fernando Torres when he was at Liverpool.

For older readers - Bryan Robson.

Good shout, although I think some of his injuries also made him the hero he was tonso many.
