Mason is an adult but if I were his parent I would be saying to him "hang up the boots son." Shankly's quote is memorable but the reality is...no, football isn't more important.
when is the international break? if we can keep around mid-table then after that we should have some decent larkers back
I doubt it. Think of the cost it would be to insure every player. Probably more per season than it would be to write off a £15m player.
It was obviously scattered and piecemeal, but overall, I liked what I saw last season. If he can get fit and stay fit, I feel that he could be a big player in this division.
If he was fit, I would agree. But as he isn't (and hasn't played consistently for a while) I don't think anyone will offer to take on his contract. I hope he stays and contributes. If not, then maybe he'll be off in Jan.
Ryan Mason has no intention of giving up on a return to playing, following his scan on Friday. The bone has started growing back together, it may require more surgery, but he's hopeful of making a return to the game. It doesn't sound like it will be a quick process.
I guess a positive is that he can still keep pretty fit and active compared to say a horrific leg break etc
Credit to the lad .. most would have hung their boots up tbh .. but I can't help feeling we'll never see him don a city shirt again .. life is more precious no matter how much I love the club would hate to see him make a return and put his life at risk
He's still getting £30/40k a week, he's not going to put the brakes on that til he reaches the end of the road, even if it's already in sight.
Ryan Mason receives third medical opinion on whether he can play football again after horror head injury http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/ryan-mason-receives-third-medical-11081128
As if we wouldn't get some defensive injury sometime, people here just predicted Dawson instead. I suppose we just stick one of those many midfielders we've got into defence now then eh?
