doddisalegend Posted 9 December, 2014 Share Posted 9 December, 2014 Reports over the weekend he wants to stay at saints and sign a new deal. Please god let that be true. Personally figured he would be off at the first opportunity............... though maybe he has looked at how the summer leavers are doing and figures saints might not be so bad.

Sour Mash Posted 9 December, 2014 Share Posted 9 December, 2014 Is anyone on here ITK about players returning from comparable injuries? What are the most similar comparisons for other players returning and how they've come back? Out current team, with the option of a fully fit Rodriguez would be outstanding.

simo Posted 9 December, 2014 Share Posted 9 December, 2014 I thought we have already offered him a new contract? Who knows , maybe he told the club he wants to wait until his injury and make sure he can earn it ? He doesn't take me as a Billy big bollix he may not of wanted to sign a contract without knowing if he'll play again like he used too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the most similar comparisons for other players returning and how they've come back? Out current team, with the option of a fully fit Rodriguez would be outstanding. There are very much differing returns from ACL injuries, mentally they mess you up and it takes a while to get over them and generally they tend to cause you to lose a yard or so of pace. It all depends on the level of rehab, at top level you would expect him to get the best advice so its more likely that his return will show minimal reductions in his pre injury quality however there is always a chance it effects you. Holden, gazza, nistlerooy, bullard, all of which it caused adverse affects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 11 December, 2014 Share Posted 11 December, 2014 We need to buy a decent striker in the January window. Yep. If Jrod comes back the same player and wants to play for saints great but I don't think we should be holding off getting in better attacking options and relying on him to come back and fill the striker gap in our squad.

Dark Munster Posted 11 December, 2014 Share Posted 11 December, 2014 Torres knows where the back of the net is, and doesn't headbutt teammates (as far as I know). I would love it, love it, if we could sign him up for half a season. Wages? Pay him the same as our highest earners, plus a one-time "signing up" payment. Despite our recent slump, 4th isn't impossible, and this could make the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pity from RK's POV is that he was expected back In Dec/Jan (would have been like a new signing) but now its not so clear. RK won't put a date on it because it puts pressure on the player, but looking like end Jan at least, much along the lines of what was originally expected, but maybe a little later as he has had to "step back".

Thanks. .. I was worried he had picked up a new injury. still have doubts as to whether we will see him again (certainly at the level he was at prior to getting injured) - but that's a different question for another day.
