Originally posted by Canterbury Palace Haha. I said injury record, he's got a different kind of record. Just seems to me like the English have a lot more players who become extremely injury prone throughout their careers and I'm wondering if it's something to do with the way they are being developed when they are young. Again, not an Adam Johnson reference. I think we just don't hear of young un's from other countries unless they turn up at Man Utd / City etc - and then they usually tend to be established players already. The kind of focus I think that's required to take that final step-up, is difficult, especially with all the distractions available to someone who is 18-19 and earning even 40k a week (If I had been earning 40k a week at 18, I'd probably have been dead by 21). Especially as a lot of these players have 'put their life on hold' from their early teens to focus entirely on football. Then suddenly, you have made it, and I think most its not so much the injuries, but the psychology that they can now relax bit more and enjoy the spoils. Obviously the injuries don't help (esp leg injuries), but, for many I think the, probably sensibly, lack the sheer fantasism to take the next step up. After all, if you had a choice between doing four hours extra training, or f**king a super model and her hot friend...
