Van Dijk out for 3 months!!

Jeez, you could cut & paste that onto every friggin thread. If people want to vent or even praise, let them. Appreciate some might not be able to link in on an hourly / daily basis to catch-up & write at a later date ......... bit like this really.

 

What I have done to you?

 

Think he was joking mate...

 

Joke! Hence the.....

An update on VVD's injury. Not serious but they want to make sure it is healed properly before he comes back. May not see him this season.

 

Cue SW (and others!) thinking it's the last we've seen of him

 

Had a feeling that he might be out longer when I saw he still had boot on pre cup final.

Well it could well be

 

He's actually had his foot amputated and we just don't want the big clubs to notice until we've taken their cash





At least he will be able to cross the line when he takes a throw now.

 

If we aren't desperate, there is no need to risk him. And it will put doubt in the mind of teams thinking of annoying us by putting in offers.

 

Indeed. I think the fact that we have cacares and are not rushing him back suggest we want to play him in the future. I don't think he will go this summer.

 

I thought I saw a timeline whereby he'll be more than ready to play by April. I wouldn't expect Virgil to want to take it easy, even though he's so laid back he's horizontal.

 

Players always think they are ready before the medical staff...unless they are small Latvians.

 

I honestly think it's good news for the summer. I don't think he will leave this summer so being cautious is the right way to go.

 

No inside info and not ITK, but I am hopeful he will stay. I just wish the media would shut up....they are not ITK either...they are just recycling rumours.

 

Or an Ecuador international match is up next.

 

Or Daniel Sturridge.

 

And your manager is off to eat out-of-date yoghurt rather than be worried about your fitness.

 

Yes, indeed we had proof of that just the other day, when a reporter asked Puel why Fraser had been playing with an injury, and Puel said that Fraser isn't carrying an injury. Compete speculation, first mooted on this forum.

 

Article in Shoot pointed out how rumours run riot....a rumour in Spain about Romeu to Barcelona was repeated in the Mirror and Express. The story has now been repeated in Spain as coming from British papers with no mention of initial attribution.
