laudrupforever 17 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Dods and Loovens are nothing but animals and those two should be hammered, respective of if Edu was crocked or not. Bad news about Thommo though, was looking forward to seeing him back. Get well soon bears Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

disgruntled_bear 157 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Terrible news but it wont effect us that much with a long pre-season to try players like Davis in CM, we should be fine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amac9 2,060 Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 RANGERS midfielder Maurice Edu will miss the start of the 2009/10 season after undergoing medial ligament surgery in London yesterday. Edu was ruled out of Saturday's Scottish Cup final victory over Falkirk after damaging his left knee after a crunching challenge from Dundee United's Darren Dods at Tannadice on May 24. Top London surgeon Andy Williams carried out a successful operation on the American yesterday - but he is expected to be out of action for a minimum three months and now faces a fight to be ready for the start of the Champions League campaign in mid-September. advertisementThe news is a huge personal blow for the former Toronto player who had excelled at the end of the season and looked odds-on to be a regular starter. The 23-year-old has also been forced to withdraw from the US national team for their forthcoming World Cup qualifiers with Costa Rica and Honduras and the Confederations Cup tournament later this month. Kevin Thomson, meanwhile, has been making excellent progress with the physios at Murray Park and is ahead of schedule but, like Edu, might not return to Walter Smith's plans until September. The player himself believes he will be back before then. However, after seven months out Rangers medical staff will take no chances. With Barry Ferguson's future at Ibrox uncertain, today's news will come as a big blow for Smith who would have wanted his squad to be at full strength for the start of the new campaign.

Muff 245 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Fucking awful news - both could have done with a proper pre-season, but will now miss it. The simple thing to do would be to bring Davis into his proper position, and, play him alongside Mendes, but I just get the feeling that we'll go into next season with either Lee McCulloch or Barry Ferguson in there, which is a nightmare of a situation The thought of both Edu, and, Thomson out worries me, the thought of both Ferguson, and, McCulloch still being at Rangers worries, and, annoys me even more. The thought of either of them trying to play Champions League football, along with SPL football scares the shit out of me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 54,206 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 All this (Edu's injury) stems from the fact that Darren Dods tackles like a fucking pub level footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 11,453 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Awful news. It would make sense to just play Mendes and Davis in the centre but Ferguson or McCulloch will sneak in there as i can't see both leaving sadly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooper1989 0 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Worst case I'd think. Thommo is ahead of schedule -- and EDU won't be out of 3 months. Just my amazing 6th sense at work here.
