OrangeRab 2,483 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Rumour is that he was on a certain acne medicine as a teenager at Liverpool and side-affects from this are the cause of his injuries (joints knackered). Perhaps Liverpool knew this which is why they didn't put up much of a fight for one of their brightest prospects (he already endured lengthy absences with a hamstring injury before he came to us..). Hopefully it is all hearsay and he makes a return to fitness asap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son suffered very badly from infantile eczema and was on steroid creams from an early age. At 28 he now has carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands and suffers regularly from muscle aches. Steroid creams are often used to treat acne related issues, so entirely believable as far as I am concerned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

big blue Fin 3,724 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 There's absolutely no point in keeping a player at the club who is only ever going to be seen the club's medical staff. I can't another club buying him so best let him go asap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best try to get him fit and take it from there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then, keep helping him & give him the medical care he needs. He is still a young boy, only 20 years old and has way more ability than guys like Holt & Halliday. Really hope he gets sorted out.

insider 123 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 It's fairly obvious that we would all like this young man to overcome his Injury problems get into the first team for a couple of seasons then be sold back to Liverpool or some other epl side for twenty million. But it's not going to happen. He's been Injured for years, I don't think he's going to make a full recovery ever. He's contracted to us for another couple of years so from his position I'm sure he will continue using our facilities to try and get fit. He has no love affair with Rangers, we are just another club to him. From our perspective we will continue to try and help him to get fit and continue to him thousands of pounds each week in the process. He was a signing gamble that has failed. You win some, you lose sum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 11,453 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Shame for the guy but doesn't seem like he'll ever be getting over injuries Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedWhiteBlue1872 407 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Feel for him... at least the club/Murty are actually being a bit more open about it now. I really hope he overcomes this but it's looking unlikely as not much progress has been made. Fingers crossed, because it would be like a new signing and one with good potential.

Gow came back over a few weeks later and I was out with him and his mates most nights and again a few of them were on it but he wasn't and was hardly drinking because he was up early and out running and really into his fitness. Obviously that was a few years before he signed for us and things could of changed but he certainly seemed against gear. He was a bear too so I'm sure he would of been gutted leaving us.
