KingKirk 25,647 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Difficult discussion needs to be had regarding the wee man. We need to look for a replacement in January. His body just won't allow him to compete at this level anymore imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Specky Forum Organiser 64,732 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Deal with it in the summer. Bigger immediate issues than holding midfield. teddybear1975, KingKirk and Dan Deacon 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Traive 22,780 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Crying shame but the club comes first. We’ve been hugely patient and supportive but there comes a point where a line has to be drawn. Let’s see what the issue is but the future looks bleak for him, at least with us. chris182, NI, Negri's lovechild and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Hopefully it's just something daft like a sprained ankle. We can't afford players who never play. Especially when we're covered in his position. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter huistra 1,740 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Pretty much what could have been had he stayed fit during his time at the club, great passion and commitment but you need to be injury free to make a real contribution. If he does go I'm pretty sure he will end up at a club and not miss a game once he's fully over his injuries. chris182 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Williamson. 82,234 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Get him replaced. Was a favourite of mine when he was in form but we can’t be hanging around waiting on a player that’s always injured Bristol loyal and chris182 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryStevens02 148 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Gio said he had been injured in training but didn’t elaborate if it was a recurrence of the same issue or not. I hope he’s OK as I like him as a player but he wouldn’t be the first to have his career ended early.

Ross-Gazza genius 1,907 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Tbh nobody would buy or take him whilst he's injured so we'd be as well letting him see out his contract in the hope he makes a full recovery.

Prso's headband 35,459 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 He’ll never play consistently for us again unfortunately. I like him and we’ve missed him in certain games but it’s time to move on No time for sentiment in football, if he’s out of contract in the summer he has to go and a replacement needed.

STEPPS BOY 73,923 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Shame for the lad but should now at all times be classed as a squad player. A number 8 type player should be a priority in January. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights 2,526 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Almost 30 and is ruled out for months every time he steps on the training pitch. Good player but anything we get from him should be viewed as a bonus. Can’t count on him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him as a player but it's far too much time out now. Doubt we'll look for a replacement in the Janaury window. One for the summer.

TopCat 4,511 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I rate him highly and wish him well but tbh I think his career is over. Such a shame as we could really use him this season. teddybear1975 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 30,843 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Gio is being coy about the specifics of the injury. I'm sure he knows. If it is a reoccurring injury of the old one then his career is in danger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
