Players like Sandro will always have injury issues (see Wilson/Parker, any truly committed DM, due to the physicality of how they play/tackle), hence you need cover for him.
The real issue is why don't we play Capoue when Sandro is not available

I've been faffing about with some player radars, like those used on StatsBomb.com, and the figures posted by Huddlestone in 2009/10 are rather similar to those of Gerrard this season gone...
The Hudd of today probably couldn't repeat such feats after all the injury problems he's had in the years since, his figures for Hull are noticeably down on his heyday with Spurs, although with a fully fit Sandro alongside Hudd we might've had quite the midfield duo...

FWIW, a look at Huddlestone' midfield partnerships with Palacios and Livermore...
and our rather more balanced duos in 11/12 and 12/13...
It certainly was one heck of a campaign from Sandro, the only midfielders to post similar sets of figures this season gone were Jedinak and Matic.

Didn’t know he was now an ManUre until I stumbled across @dingdongo post in the Former Players thread but FWIW…

Real classy player, bit more mobility and he would have been a world better

He was with ManU academy last season, and only just left.
He was on the bench when they lost 6-2 to Arsenal on the 3rd of May.

Yeah, you can still have over aged players.
I don't know how often he played, could just be if there were injuries

It's good to have an old head on the pitch that can direct traffic and show them how to use economy of running yet still have a big impact by finding space and time whilst everyone else is sprinting twice as far and fast.
