Did he? I missed that. Even so, he's definitely out for Tranmere, so it's a question of how long beyond that. The fact he didn't limp off or get carried off is a positive sign.

Ste Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 3 minutes ago, Happinesstan said: He's already set to miss Tranmere. I'm sure this scan is just to assess any potential risks, and help devise a training plan for this week. I'm certain we won't take any risks so he might miss Wolves. But if he's back for the Liverpool game, that would be brilliant. Best case scenario. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Would imagine we're downplaying his injury so clubs don't try to ramp up transfer fees on strikers even more than they already are. I don't think the extent of it will be revealed until we've got somebody in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I always find it a bit mad that with money in football, especially the premier league that we don’t get instant results from scan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) Maxi Gomez is available for 12 million Euros. Mitrovic style striker. Would suit the more direct style in the Prem. Scored a decent amount in Spain when playing for Celta Vigo as they were more direct with crosses into the box. Hasn't quite been the same type of service for him at Valencia. Linked last December, and been mentioned again more recently. Solid to potentially really good low cost option that should still allow us to do our other business if Callum Wilson is injured.

They will get an idea from first glance, but it will need thorough analysis. I was a cath lab nurse and could look at someone's arteries and say if they were fucked or not. The doctor would then need to sit down and measure shit, do a few calculations and say how fucked they were and how to fix it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been positive as fuck all through the summer, but to be in this situation by the end of August is crazy really. Thinking we can rely on Wilson will shoot us in the foot. I think you’ve misunderstood my post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomlynnherrington Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Even before becoming our manager Eddie must have known we needed another quality striker.Wood isn’t and never will be that person so we can only hope he has a few irons in the fire and the signing of a good striker is imminent.
