Had a look at his injury record.
After his catastrophic injury in the 2015/2016 season which put him out for seven months he seemed to bounce back and in the 2016/2017 season was sidelined for just three weeks with knee injury.
However, in the 2017/2018 he was sidelined from end of February to early April once again with a knee problem.
Given the rigours of the premiership I don't blame the club for having second thoughts about signing him. He may well have gone on to become a great player for us but on the other hand we could have ended up with another "Sturridge" .
...Best to walk away then from the deal then. A lot of people are very apprehensive about signing him.
On the other hand though, what's to stop firmino or Salah getting a similar type injury next season and get a big lay off!??
Injuries can happen to any player in any game, look at Oxlaide Chamberlain! Got a bad knee injury, then out for a few months!
Can happen to any player...
