It's meant to provide additional support to a potentially weak area and to help with load on that area to try and prevent over exertion. I think it's generally accepted it can have some benefit, but it's far from guaranteed prevention. Just a patch up and see.

 

 

 

It's nonsense, man. Just a placebo. It's doing no one any harm, but the help its supposedly providing is purely psychological.

I was all in until this injury.

 

We've had so many bad experiences with injury prone strikers.

 

I have a feeling the deal may crumble now unless it's just a short term issue.

He's pulled his hamstring ffs, they played him to early. That's all it is. He is young, he shouldn't have been rushed. The fact he has tape on his leg shows he needs  rest. It's ridiculous they played him. 

 

I hope so, that sounds fair. Fingers crossed.

If it’s a serious tear he’ll be out for 3 months minimum.

 

They need to do detailed tests on him, is it the same leg as before? It could just mean he didn’t get the right treatment at his current club and rushed back maybe. 4 months should be enough but it obviously wasn’t if it’s the same leg?

The best case you can ever give when people say billionaires are somehow smarter than us. Mike Ashley made a billion pounds. And most of the time he literally sabotaged his investments with terrible ideas and terrible employees 

 

Ashley being a billionaire keeps me up at night ngl.

Demba Ba has a dodgy knee and that’s why he costed that little. This unproven kid is costing us 35m+. That’s a big difference 


Demba Ba would cost 50-70m in todays market. He was class.

Just imagining Demba’s exploding knee going off after it’s been packed full of rhe necessary next to this lazy cunt to teach him a proper English lesson. Sickening what he has done, turns the stomach. Is he even called Hugo? Disrespectful if so.

It's the risk of that mismanagement leading to long term damage. Not guaranteed of course but something for the medical experts to take into account.

Yes and to be assessed thoroughly if and when he has a medical with us.

Very strange how quickly having concerns about a prospective signing's fitness has become politicised. 

 

Carl Cort, Albert Luque, Michael Owen etc. Surely it's reasonable for people to not want their fingers to be burnt? 

 

It's a reality that some players are more injury prone than others, and that one injury can change a player's career trajectory. Hopefully not in this kid's case, but we'll have to see. 

 

If we sign him and he does turn out to be a crock, I'm sure some will find a way to blame Howe and the owners for poor scouting and recklessness.

On the other hand he never has this issue again, joins PSG, becomes a world beater and we’ve missed out over something we could have managed.
