Concern being he can't stay fit , not questioning the job he can do when fully fit

You could say the same about Ramsey.

FFS he is not injury prone compared to players such as Sturridge or Owen
His first big injury for us was a bad tackle the second was an ACL from which he recovered more quickly than our other two players.
Two weeks our with a hamstring and saying we should sell one of our top players is pathetic.

Who I would not sell but there are significant differences.

That's damning with faint praise though.

Agree, we should also consider this . Players who are unavailable for repeated spells are not ideal , though I like Ramsey and he was our best player Saturday night we need to take a holistic view

Makes you wonder with all these injuries, on fantastic pitches with better boots/shin pads than back in 1981 when we won the League using 14 players. Perhaps we should go back to a fag and cup of tea at half time, and 10 pints 3 times a week?

Paul McGrath had 2 dodgy knees, hardly trained, turned up on Saturday with a blinding hangover and then spent 90 mins waltzing around owning the place. Different times ...

I can see the point that however good a player is, if he can't stay fit for 5 minutes, then they're not much use. See also Ramsey, J.

Paul McGrath is the best player to ever play for Aston Villa though. As much as I think Kamara and JJ are top 4 level, different class etc players, they don't get the same latitude as God.
