Sven Botman

I think Burn played that game he scored 3.

[Fak]

Aye Botman didn’t play. 
 

Although Matt Targett did.

ITK?

Cant wait to have him back, and injury free, and a bit of time he gets back to the absolute beast he was.  Unbelieable player for his age IMO, and could be one of the best CBs in league if not wider than that.  Hope they don't fuck his recovery and he comes back when ready.

Just look at the other players that have done this, its a year out now. I think the physicality and speed of the PL is so quick now you cant risk it. I dont think Mings has come back yet and he did it in the 5-1?  Buendia was a year out too, Timber was ready in 9 months but still needed to get up to speed.

[Aiston]

Would expect no starts for him until Feb or March really, to be safe.

 

Should be no need to rush him and take any risk.

 

Won't be fully fit until next season.

[SUPERTOON]

For reference, Mings expected to return to the Villa squad for the first time tomorrow since the same exact injury he sustained against us on the opening day of last season.

Aye, I agree with all that.

I'd literally forgot all about him.

[andycap]

Botman played away to Brighton in his debut season In the 0-0

Mind you he is probably refering to international games with camavinga in his list.

Reasons to be optimistic - Botman returns in December and then we sign a couple of players including a RW in Jan 💪

Heard a Longstaff interview with Linekar and Shearer, he states that Isak and Botman are our stand out elite players, but he also proclaims that Botman is rapid? 

 

Pre injury he had alot of qualities but being fast certainly wasn't one of them.

Maybe he means rapid in his footballing brain!

Tbf I don't think he is as slow as people make out, like Burn or even Schar etc, just he has no acceleration like most really big footballers so in short distances he ain't gonna look quick. Haaland, Van De Ven are pretty rare in what they have imo 

 

Hope he doesn't lose anymore after the ACL though 

[KetsbaiaIsBald]

We just need to keep up in the league until Christmas any which way.  Botman back and transfer window and we could really kick on. Potentially this will be at the same time the teams in Europe start seeing a few injuries building in

He's a Bowser/Donkey Kong, rather than a Princess Peach/Yoshi.

Totally agree 

[wallsendlad1952]

As was hinted in an earlier post, will he be as effective after his ACL injury as he was before. If not, we have serious problems. We're struggling to sign ONE quality central defender. To find and sign TWO would be nigh on impossible with our non playing staff and all the alleged  disputes behind the scenes.

Botman recorded one of the fastest running speed in EPL history last season before injury

 

Sometimes people really got misled by tall players body build.

I think he’s a bit like Lascelles. Not quick over short distances and can get done for agility and a turn of pace. But once they open up, they are pretty fast. 
 

It is understandable, TBF. They are both absolute units so will at times turn like a cruiseliner.
