SteveMc Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Not really news....this is the 2-3 weeks from the other day. Seemed confident the other day, now it's not healing and new Scandanavian Dr's opinion needed. This seems significantly more bleak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Would really like to know, how it was a pull and now it's a tear. Seems to me more shocking analysis from our medical team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 So from ten days to "possibly back for the derby" to "could be back for Fulham" to "another 3 weeks". Call me cynical but has the club been playing this injury down as to bypass a hysterical need for a new striker? I wouldn't be surprised that the truth about the injury comes out after Monday. We are very much struggling for goals and if Carroll is going to be out long term then the club wants an arse kicking for not sorting out cover. Our striking options at the moment aren't good enough and it's costing us points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was facetious about it at the time but the speed with which the club denied that Sun story is looking a bit fishy IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are desperate people will ask for more money. However both scenarios seem unlikely as we could now have gone until Monday without changing the story, but we have indeed gone and done so.

Guest BooBoo Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 You can see it coming now sometime next week: "The extent of Andy's injury only came to light very late in the window and we were too short on time to get a new man in. We have every faith in Shola, Besty, Peter and don't forget young Nile." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I'm convinced that had we a decent striker available, we would have put both Spurs and the Mackems to bed. A lack of a decent striker in those two games at least has really cost us and will continue to do so as long as we have only Shola, Lovenkrands, Ranger and Best to rely on.

He signed a new contract in November, so we don't need to think about signing him to a new deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Injury is a tear to the thigh muscle 'just above the tendon where it joins the knee'. Sounds dodgy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sicko2ndbest Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Injury is a tear to the thigh muscle 'just above the tendon where it joins the knee'. Sounds dodgy. That's an unusual place to have a tear in your thigh muscle. Most football related quad tears are mid-high in the muscle Depends on what 'grade' the tear is. Could be anything from 2 weeks to 3 months Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
