but rooney's done his 4th, which isn't as bad as 5th. specialists reckon it could heal within 4-6 weeks being a "young, strong boy".

Bacl in the day it was called a broken foot. Nothing new really but the media does make it out to be a bit of a recent phenomena.

How bout playing Joe Cole in a free role/support striker kind of role and Aaron Lennon on the left? Just a thought...its that old crouchy which is too predictable from the start n will be marked out of games...only wanna chuck him on for 20mins or so to mix it up

it could be true, the desire for modern boots to be as light as possible might leave a weak spot on the top.

It has got to be the boot design, I picked up a pair a Nike 90 Whatsits and there is nothing to them ,Just light plastic with no protection what so ever . Go back to wearing good old fashiond black boots made out of proper leather and these injuries will not happen  :old:
