Our head physio has just left the club / been sacked.

Extended period of paternity leave? seems more like family problems

[black_n_white]

Not sure how that was missed. FFP not impacted on staff hires is it? Buy the best medical staff if not.

Remember when we were heavily linked with one injury prone player and so many on here said “if our medical team think they can turn him around then I trust them”   Not saying that our medical team is shite but I never want to see us go for injury prone players,  as it’s like asking for problems. 

Arsenal LB wasn’t it? Forgot his name

I guess because Botman is such a machine. He has great strength and support through his legs and it would be hard to pick up. For him and the medical team. 
 

Strange he didn’t go for a precautionary scan, mind. 

 

Cat scan?

[bobbydazzla]

My knee kept swelling despite physio treatment, so had an MRI, meniscus tear was visible, am having an arthroscopy to fix it 

 

It’s just a standard investigation route for knee problems  

 

If he’s not had an MRI then that’d be wild 

[joeyt]

Love him but thought he was dreadful tonight

[Karjala]

Certainly has been far away from the Botman of last season, since he returned from injury

[Newcastle Fan]

He looked like he's finding it hard to run or slide; maybe he is playing with an injury after all.

[Gallowgate Toon]

He's not played for months & is likely conscious of his knee still, it's going to take him a few more games imo.

[Ghandis Flip-Flop]

MRI scans aren’t always conclusive guys, wasn’t until the second scan that my MCL and meniscus tear was picked up. You'd hope imaging would be always conclusive but it doesn’t work that way.

[huss9]

way out of position so many times tonight.

Have a feeling Botman is going to be next on the transfer rumours list.

Why?

[sushimonster85]

Nah. Pretty confident Botman and Isak won't be brought up till next Summer if we miss out on CL again. 

[The Prophet]

Surely one of our "untouchables".

Think there's a clear pattern to those being rumored to be leaving. 

[Paulinho]

You can see the logic with a Bruno sale (brought in at what looks like a bargain price, 27 this year and unlikely to ever command more than what he could bring in this summer), but a sale of Botman or Isak would truly be in “what’s the point of it all?” territory. Not that I think it’s likely mind.

Until the last few days, I thought that might've been the other way around. I've never really bought into the crown jewels thing over the past couple of years, as a kind of preventative psychological defence mechanism. But with the moves that seem to be going on, it's looking good.

I love the random quoting of ages in transfer chat. He's 27, means he only has about 8 years left as a top player?

[FLUMPO235]

Oh Jesus, came here expecting he was either out for the season or for sale.

I can’t think of a way to explain to you, without being incredibly patronising, why being 27 is very different to being 30 in the context of football transfers.

In terms of years remaining as a player he's still pretty young. But in terms of a big transfer fee his age is very relevant. 

 

Ronaldo, Kane, and Neymar are the only players ever to go for over £75m past the age of 30. Even at 27/28 you don't have more than a handful - Griezmann, Coutinho, Lukaku, Hazard ... that might be it?
