Philip Buckingham ‏@PJBuckingham 35s BREAKING Sone Aluko out until February with a torn Achilles Well ****.
I doubt he will be getting a contract anywhere else. He best hope he comes back to fitness in time and earns a new contract with us in the final 3 months. I assume we will have retracted our offer for the time being!
Christ that's bad news, we don't seem to have much luck injury-wise with our better players. That'll make a big difference to contract negotiations although I guess there will be no rush to get a signature now as there will be minimal interest from others until he's back firing on all cylinders.
Well we'll deinitely go for Shane Long now! Shyte, just when you think you're heading back to a full squad!!
Steve Bruce said that he'd rejected the most recent contract offer. His main concern now is to get Sone fit again and then consider contract options.
i knew this would happen he's just far too injury prone, i'm not even disappointed as i actually expected something like this on another note: howard webb is injured too replaced by phil dowd
Don't rate him that much, we have shown we can do really well without him. I think Sagbo is starting to come good and Gedo can't be far off. Can't wait for January, hopefully get a decent striker in not Bentner.
Did he not have scans last week that showed everything was OK ? Unless he's torn it whilst warming-up last Saturday, which would be a worry. Bugger.
Absolutely. His recent form has merited a place in the starting Xi and hopefully he can continue to perform.
He's crocked. Thank **** he rejected that contract offer. Saved us a nice wedge there. Got to feel sorry for the lad, but he gambled and lost.
