Of course the Lloyd Kelly deal was too good to turn down. But the gamble hasn’t worked by the sounds of it. 

It was like, Botman being out doesn't change that it was a good deal, and one that I think I'd still do now with the information we have.

Downie reckons he was at training today, didn't say he did train so could obviously have been in for physio.

Which means he's at least alive

Either way it's one you'd have done based on the information we HAD and that's all that matters to me. Fingers and toes crossed Botman being out is just a scare.

I’ve been told that he’s dead fwiw

What? 
 

I don’t like bringing bad news to this forum (especially two days in a bastard row!) - it’s fairly obvious what I meant in regards to the final - apparently out for the season and needs surgery - Wanted to hear more before I posted this  so apologies for being ‘cryptic’

Yeah. It was always a risk. But for that sort of money and the PURE PROFIT. One that was worth taking. 
 

Love all this spreadsheet wankery, me. Best part of the modern game.

All this conflicting information. There’s still hope.

🤷‍♂️ I’ve asked

 

He definitely has an injury to his other knee like… that much is true. But I was told on Sunday that they expected him to play vs Brighton (or be involved) and it was a relatively last minute decision for him not to be because he didn’t quite feel his best.

 

That sounds just like last season.

[Miercoles]

Another in a long line of NUFC players to have one good season.

 

I know that's a shit take, but it's hard to be optimistic about this club sometimes!

He hasn't had the opportunity to have a full second season yet

Can we hire an exorcist to cure the club of whatever curse we have hanging over us.

He was probably just trying to get information out of you so don't take that personally. I listen to what you say and take regard of it, plus a couple of others, anyway.

 

Let's see what the club come out with anyhow.

It's going to be a long road back for him if this is true. Assuming he next plays again in August, you're talking 18 months or so with basically no competitive football, having already looked pretty fucked at the start of 2024 from his previous injury. 

 

That is going to be difficult for any player to make a complete recovery from, not just physically but mentally.

Fair dos mate - I’d never post anything on here without it being from a good source - especially bad news two days in a row!

Careful what you wish for - what if you're banished to the netherworld too?

Well I hope what I’ve just been told is wrong - please FFS

Opposite leg ACL rupture?

Opposite knee to the one he had just injured the other month. To quote it '*coach* reckons he's pinged a ball in training and a bit of bone in his knee has dislodged/loosened off'

Well I know from experience you can end up with bits of bone in your knee when you do a ligament such as your ACL as it can pull some bone away with it when it ruptures. 

Fucking hope not….
