Bimpy474 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Absolutely ridiculous how bad this lads luck is when it comes to injuries. Unfortunately, think this one might be the final straw in terms of his upward development though as it'll probably mean he's now out for the season? Definitely need a couple of wingers brought in come January, especially with Atsu jetting off to the AFCON too. Most definitely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Get him training and see if he merits 45 minutes against Leeds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Wow that's terrible for the lad. There's real potential there, you can see it but just can't stay fit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Seen it a few times when people have done in their ACL when about to recover from foot injuries. Injury after injury takes its toll and the ACL is the killer. Given his position, attributes and standing within the game the impacts of an ACL means his career is on a knifes edge.

James Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Get him training and see if he merits 45 minutes against Leeds. Then see in the 45 mins if it is worth keeping him on for 90. Because a football manager knows more than a doctor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Even though I don't think he's as good as he has been hyped to be on here recently it's still not good news. We should be looking to strengthen in January, but to somebody that can do a job longer term and not just for the final few months of the season.

joeyt Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 When's he out of contract? We've just given him a 5 year contract. Him and Vuckic will be tearing it up in our pre-season friendly against York City in July 2019 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpie Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Absolutely gutting for him. Those saying he's made out of glad etc are out of order in my opinion. ACLs can happen to anyone at anytime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 As I said a few posts up I've seen ACL's follow a fair few foot injuries with footballers in the past I suppose if you can't twist or flex a foot then the knees are going to do a fair amount of the twisting and take the strain. Obviously I don't have the data in front of me but questions need to be asked on whether Aarons was truly ready to return to training. Whilst Rafa has put much more faith and responsibility in Dr Paul Catterson his experience in football is very limited and if we could bring in a second more experienced doctor to work alongside him and give a second opinion I think it would be highly preferable.

How do you define 'very limited'? He's been here for nearly 8 years and according to his website Paul has previously worked for the Football Association as team doctor for England Futsal, England U17, England U16 and at the World University Games with the Great Britain University Football Team in 2005. which doesn't suggest 'very limited' experience in football.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Jesus wept, this lad is made out of bloody Quavers. He's shown some real glimpses of quality, but we cant keep this lad on the books if he cant make it onto a football pitch. Feel for him but like De Jong, it gets pretty frustrating after the 70th injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With exception to working with us, none of those roles consist of managing a large group of players over a 50-game season. Our medical department has been so poorly run for eight years that I do not count this as good experience either. We need someone else who can offer a lot more thorough experience in working in the kind of setup Rafa prefers and then eventually by working with this new doctor over a period of time he will have the experience to lead. Anyway the stakes of the sport are to high to rely on the word of one doctor, we need two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
