I know some are saying it's worth taking a chance on Strootman, it's a bit worrying reading this about his injuries though.

On 9 March 2014, Strootman sustained a knee injury in Roma's 1–0 defeat to Napoli which made him miss the remainder of the 2013–14 season and the 2014 FIFA World Cup, where the Dutch selection finished third.

On 9 November, Strootman made his first appearance for Roma in exactly eight months, appearing as an 84th-minute substitute in a 3–0 defeat of Torino at the Stadio Olimpico.

His first start of the 2014–15 season came in a 2–2 draw with Sassuolo on 7 December. He assisted the first of captain Francesco Totti's two goals after appearing as a substitute in Roma's 2–2 draw with Lazio in the 175th Derby della Capitale on 12 January 2015.

On 26 January 2015, Strootman was substituted in a Serie A fixture against Fiorentina after sustaining further damage to his anterior cruciate ligament. Three days later, it was confirmed that the player would again undergo knee surgery.

On 26 August 2015, it was reported that, in spite of failing to make a single appearance in seven months, Strootman's injury will again require surgery. The procedure will once again extensively sideline the player, presumably for the entire season.

Interview with him where he goes into details about what happened etc, seems originally he injured it on international duty a bit then played in the league and it 'went', second injury was a build up of tissue around the original injury by the looks, the third surgery seems anyway to be to reconstruct it properly so it healed well, least thats what i have gathered from this vid and reading a couple of articles about it, if that third surgery was done right and the two earleir ones didnt bugger him up then no reason he wont fully recover from it
