This thread is going in circles. There is so much information about Gundogans previous injuries if you care to go backwards and read the postings. There is no agreement as whether he is injury prone or not. I think he is not. The current injury is his second major injury, and the first was down to a back problem which he was borne with; i.e. not football related. Beyond that he has his normal share of injuries like everyone else.

Crikey, you honestly think Gundogan is more effective defensively than Fernandinho?

Superior not just effective.... I guess we'll see what I'm getting at when he plays next to him.. He plays the role the modern way. Out of interest, whilst we are comparing and contrasting players... Who was better defensively between Barry/de Jong v dinho???

He's had a major back injury and now this, unrelated kneecap dislocation. I wouldn't call him injury-prone, as that would imply he's re-injuring the same areas or having related injuries a la Vinny.

Over a month to go until the window is open, he’s probably on holiday somewhere – I wouldn’t worry, things move slow at this time of year.

Does anyone know how/if they'll do a medical for this transfer?
I think we can all agree he has had numerous small injuries, but only 2 'big' ones, his back (which he is fully recovered from) and now the knee (not ligaments), which he can fully recover from.
I think there is a big difference between injury prone and unlucky. Injury prone to me, means a regular occurrence of the same or similarly positioned injuries. Unlucky means dislocating your knee cap out of the blue. As far as I am aware he has never been out for a significant amount of time other than the back issue and this knee injury thats keeping him out of the euro's now.
He may miss the odd game (like any player does) over a season, but at £20m its a good deal for a player that may very well never get injured again.

Barry.
Why wait, been pointing it out already :) His energy drops late in games. It has happened all season. Age is slowly creeping in. I hope he moves to RB, coz we'd be stronger for it.

You think Barry was better than dinho? Really?
No he wouldn't. But I'm not surprised so many said the same about Yaya 3 years ago when I was screaming sell now. The only other people who agreed with me was the Cake brigade.
And they had a more personal reason why they wanted him out. I think I was the only one saying from a football perspective, while his production increased to 20 goals that year, his performance dropped.
Dihno has been one of the best this year, but his performance (or a better way to put it is : his capacity, dropped).
Dihno> Barry>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>........>>>>>>> Dejong

Agreed. Barry over de Jong granted but dinho is superior to Barry.
