I can't see Rodriguez ever getting back to his previous levels unfortunately. Got to be gutting for the lad and a blow for the club.

 

Not for the immediate future, at least. Maybe later this season he might get a few games if there's nothing to play for.

Back before the end January hopefully. Looks like it is just one foot, and not both.

 

Both feet was just a misunderstanding caused by Koeman's iffy command of the English language. Never was a real issue.

LvG creates similar confusion amongst the OT faithful because he confuses the use of 2 Engllish words which are both the same in Dutch...apparently.

might have guessed Fonte would be out. No comments from anyone about his injury...." OK for Saturday " sounds a good phrase - if it's true.

 

Meanwhile ..this is an ideal game for Yoshida to play CB, but after Saturday, Koeman may go with Caulker? ...because it's needs a bit of muscle against Benteke.

Close to two years out of the game through injury?

 

Or "just had a less serious injury after playing without problem for 3 months" depending on how you want to look at it.

A saints player fell off his scooter after the front wheel collapsed and has got an injury.

 

The bloke who told me this didn't know who it was but has passed on decent info before. I'd like to believe it's true just for the sheer bizarreness of the injury.

sounds just as unlikely as .. falling down a ladder, or dropping a bottle on your toe .....:D

wasn't it a frying pan full of bacon that Claus dropped on his foot? Probably had a whole pig in there or something.

If by "without problem", you mean "in and out of the team and nowhere near his previous level" then yes he's been playing without problem.

 

I think him never really getting back to his previous level looks like the likely outcome here.

Lanzini and Moses out for the hammers. Not quite an injury crisis but quite a lot of their creativity taken out with Payet gone too

 

Not that they'll need much when they play us on the 28th, any shot on target will do

He was playing at pretty much the same level as he did for the first 6 months with us, to be honest. Not at his peak but like Lallana at Liverpool last season, he was playing in a system that didn't suit him as well as the one he was in under Pochettino.

Forster cannot be far away

 

been training with the keepers for 10 days now.

 

I doubt he'll play unless Stekelenburg drops a huge clanger, why risk him until we have to? He could start in the FA Cup I suppose.

when he is fully fit, he will come back in. He is our number 1 and we have a huge investment in him

We shall see. I don't think there's much difference in their ability and as well as Stekelenburg not having done anything to get dropped, we won't want to risk Forster when we don't have to. Also, Stekelenburg is dutch... :)

I see, from the BBC Sport site, that Florin Gardos is looking for a nickname. Perhaps someone should suggest "two-bob bit" to him! (florin - geddit?)

 

I prefer Florin Who, or Lord Lucan.

On the subject of injuries, spotted this odd little snippet in the Mail today. The only link I can find online is on wixsports where it is buried as part 2 of an article about Giggs:

http://wixsports.com/when-louis-van-gaal-leaves-manchester-united-ryan-giggs-is-still-the-man-to-beat/ but here is the piece in full:

Gaston Ramirez is so fed up with his treatment by Southampton’s medical department that he is now paying for his own specialist to resolve a long-standing issue of a dead leg. Ramirez, who spent last season on loan with Hull City, has not played for Ronald Koeman’s team since the 2-1 victory over Aston Villa in the Capital One Cup on October 28.

Someone mentioned that on here before I think. Disappointing if true.

I have a very reliable source (at another club) who has told me that our state of the art facilities haven't turned out to be as effective for our support staff as might be portrayed. The phrase "have to start again" was uttered.

I imagine we've just given up on him. Absolute sick note, not worth the resources.

maybe he isnt and he has been advised to go elsewhere. Maybe we have not been so good on that front. Look at previous long term injuries we have had/dealt with and St Chalet's snippet

Looks like some of the issue is that we have given up on him. Perhaps worth considering that there is actually a real problem that has not gone away. Unlikely anyone will take him in January if this is the case, and Ronald seems unwilling to play him, or at least the on-going medical issue is preventing him playing. I suspect he will be with us until mid 2016 when he will be out of contract.

Training ground fall out.....ouch

Jan Kluitenberg has posted a picture on Twitter showing Pelle training. Not sure if its a picture from yesterday or this morning, doesn't look like Staplewood, the team travelled up yesterday so could be somewhere in/near London.

(ROMEU)..........(thankfully) not injured ..and will be back in time to cover for ......Wanyama's TWO match ban ...:rolleyes:

 

Urgh! I thought it was only one match for a second yellow?

Why Urgh? I'd be happy never to see him in a red and white shirt again regardless of how well he played v Arsenal when he knew he was in a shop window.
