I think you’re secretly our club doctor with that pish. There’s a 1 in 4 chance of sustaining a second ACL injury after primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. That’s for players under 25. Higher the older you get. There’s also much higher risk of graft rupture and knee related injury. As well as some risk that players never regain full muscle strength and capability I'm not 100% sure those stats make sense. If a player has a ACL injury at age 37 why would he be more likely than a player who has one at 21 to have another one. Surely a guy who plays on for another day 15 years is more likely to have a second ACL than someone who is going to chuck it in a year? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tore his meniscus as well. Anyways personally I’d stay clear of signing these players. We don’t seem to have the most advanced sports science team in identifying and managing these injuries. We have enough players with recurring knee and ankle injuries as it is. I’d focus on building a fit and healthy squad for a bit mitre_mouldmaster 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blues Brother 1,147 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 2 hours ago, Laudrupsleftfoot said: Don’t buy this. Both brilliant in that second half via Hibs, Kent very good all game. Agree with this. Under Gio Kent was our only player the team looked to create something. Everything was on him to do something. Opposition teams seen that and had 3 men on him regularly. He also seemed to be asked to stay wide, which also helped opponents to mark him easily out of a game… I felt his European performances were night and day compared to league games… I reckon we’ll see a lot more of Kent now he seems to have more freedom to move around the pitch. And in 6 months most will be gutted if he leaves. Morelos needs players closer to him to get the best out of him… again I think he could well have an excellent 6 months out of him with the shape we now want to play. As ever mentality and fitness will be the question mark over him… If we lose both on frees I’d be gutted and if I could only pick one to stay, it would be Kent but I’d love both to be here next season… OrangeRab and Laudrupsleftfoot 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s no kid ourselves, if tarriers extend lead in league and win the treble, Beale goes into next season under real pressure. A bad start next season in league, like Gio had, and we could be back in same place this time next year. We could be but the size of the rebuild next summer if done properly I don't see us winning the league. This should've been the season of upheaval bedding in a new team etc instead we are sitting with a team that's done 9pts behind and the upheaval to come next summer. Like the summer we won 55 they couldn't possibly expect the following year to win the league unless we give them it that's exactly what happened.. I think that's where we will be come pre season.

NorthernLights 2,529 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I do understand the people who don’t think Morelos or Kent are worth £30k+ a week. If we let them leave then we will probably have to pay decent transfer fees to replace them, though, so £30k and no transfer fees isn’t the end of the world in my opinion.

OrangeRab 3,399 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Interesting to look at the games we’ve dropped points in this year. A third of the team has been muck/wouldn’t look out of place playing for Livi. Starters then subs in brackets: Hibs: Matondo, Sands, Mclaughlin, (Davis, Arfield, King) celtic: Davis, Sands, McLaughlin, (wright, Sakala, Arfield) Livingston: King, McGregor, Davis, Arfield (Matondo, Sands, Sakala) St Johnstone: King, Sands, McGregor, Sakala (Matondo, Wright, Arfield) St Mirren: Sands, King, McGregor, Wright (Ure, Arfield) I don’t remember many of the 55 games starting 4 players who were really off it. When we beat celtic everyone was starting 11 quality. I think the old guard Kent, kamara, Morelos, tav, Goldson etc are good enough if Beale can get them fit and motivated. It’s the dross around them that needs improving. Then he can focus his 15million or whatever he gets on a keeper, a right forward and a CM. Get a Scottish CB back up on a free and move on Davis, McGregor and a few of the other filler. Think that’s a good enough team to win the league. If he goes and gets rid of Kent, Morelos, tav, kamara etc. that’s a massive ask because then he needs 6-7 starters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
