Please get yourself another nice Logitech keyboard and start posting like you used to do. I’ve ordered one, it should be here 3.00pm Friday, it’s from Mexico like so I’m not hopeful. If it doesn’t arrive I may have to retire too! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 In all seriousness, if he’s as talented as made out, and is obviously one for the future, him being injured wouldn’t put me off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I'd be very interested to know if we actually have another target in mind if Ekitike doesn't join, or is he just one of those "he's gonna be good, let's get him" type signings? We're linked with every player under the sun, but only Botman and Ekitike appear to be solid links. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long titles take up too much bandwidth. They should all be shortened to either a number, letter or roman numeral that we all need to work out the relevance for.

Abacus Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 So, just reading on here, this is a second recurrence of the same injury. Perhaps his recovery has been mismanaged by Reims, but really who knows. I guess they have a medical department too and wouldn't want to risk throwing in a saleable asset for a fairly meaningless tournament. My genuine question (and it's not specifically related to Etikite) is whether some players are genuinely, physically, more prone to injury. Or whether it's just down to bad luck / poor medical teams / training. On the bad luck thing, the law of averages says there will be some players who just pick up injury after injury for no good reason. We've all seen players who end up constantly on the treatment table (I'm thinking of Dyer for example), but how much of that is down to actual physical problems? And if there's an actual physical tendency for a player towards getting injuries, is there any way medically to predict that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if there's an actual physical tendency for a player towards getting injuries, is there any way medically to predict that? Simple answer, yes, some players are more prone to injury than others. Prediction - yes again; However, this is partly why medicals take so long these days. They use modelling based on all different movements to predict whether injuries are likely to occur. It's a horribly complex task given the number of different movements a human body can make, so obviously not fool proof, but it goes a long way.

Kanji Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 A recurring hamstring injury is a major concern for a lad who is 19. Despite where we think he can potentially go - he won’t be fulfilling any of that if he’s unable to complete seasons and develop on the pitch.

You need time to assess this I think. 3 seasons sounds data sounds fair. 1 season is impossible to tell differece from bad luck, poor management of his injury or injury prone player.

I've just googled it and it's really upsetting. In retrospect, I shouldn't have used him as an example knowing that, he was just someone that came to mind as someone whose career was blighted by injury.

Wolfcastle Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) Doesn't appear to be any rule that signing an injured player or pulling out from a signing of injured player is stupid one way or the other. At least now we know that those assessing it are far better equipped to do so than the previous lot. Will just have to delegate I guess. As good as Wilson is, I wouldn't sign another Wilson if I knew we were in for patchy fitness. Edited June 10, 2022 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
