QUOTE (KillerMax @ Jan 10 2013, 06:07 PM) Not in that context, I believe. I think barely can be used there depending upon what you're attempting to convey. Saying he was barely injured would be a comment on the severity of his injuries while saying he was rarely injured would be a comment on his frequency of injury. Both statements are arguably true. The severity and frequency of Pato's injuries have been depressingly high the past two years. |

The severity and frequency of Pato's injuries have been depressingly high the past two years. 'He was barely injured' refers to a single incident. So therefore the context must be a specific injury already being discussed or being referred to for the first time. 'He was barely inured' as a standalone statement without prior or following context is a vague sentence without much meaning. 'He was was barely injured in his first two seasons' doesn't make sense.

Nowadays he'd get injured the moment he accelerates. Oh wait, he cannot accelerate like that anymore.

We'll see if he can't accelerate anymore when he starts playing again for Corinthians.

Pato is such a tragic tale. He could have been a truly remarkable forward for us. A special striker with everything in his locker.
It just didn't work out. For whatever reason he lost form and got injured. I think it's best for everyone concerned that he left - he goes with my best wishes and I know he did it with a heavy heart. Best of luck to him and I hope he recaptures his old self, if there ever was one, and realises that incredible potential. |
