Parky Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I thought he was 'fitter than ever'...Pulls a thigh muscle kicking a ball ffs...Then it turns out he's torn it and will be out for at least a month. I say get some money for him while we can, hell I'd take the £9m right now. Can't see him playing more than 20 games for us, pains me to say so but it's looking omnimous.

Too much footie when he was younger has weakened him is one theory. I really don't know. His earlier injuries, i.e. the hamstrings and groin injuries, were down to his acceleration, running style and growing body, all that pressure on the body at the same time was too much for him basically. As he's gotten older, learned how to run properly and to exercise his hamstrings, groin and calfs, he should really be in peak condition. But luck has deserted him in recent years it's fair to say. His last injury was a pure freak one as was his foot injury away to Spurs, while his new injury is a direct result of not playing for so long and the efforts he's exhausted to get back to fitness, again his body couldn't cope with the demands. I fear he'll forever be hit by one injury or another after another in the same way Dyer has been or Woodgate. What makes cases like this all the more baffling is if you look at Shearer - he has had more injuries than Owen, yet he's never really been troubled by a succession of them. How, and why? No-one quite knows why. I actually reckon mental well being has a major part to play myself. Owen hasn't been happy for years... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Out of all the permutations in our forward line, only Owen + Viduka makes any sense to me. Where would he play in a 433? I liked our flexibility today, Owen just isnt flexible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 We might as well stop this discussion now because if he does continue to get injured at regular intervals, there is simply no way anyone will buy him. So we may as well just get behind the lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These days there are whole books on the mental aspect to regular injuries or loss of form and fitness. Aye, I'm a firm believer in how powerful mental well being is, not just in football either. Very powerful stuff that can pretty much determine the outcome of anything or conversely, screw you good and proper. A lot of people see it as mumbo jumbo but positive thinking and a state of well being mentally is they key to prosperity in whatever form it comes under.

Some people are still sticking by Dyer and wanting him to return and he has done far more to deserve our lack of support. Granted it is bloody frustrating how little we have seen of Owen but to date he has done little to suggest we shouldnt stand by him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
