As an entirely relevant comparison, I just had a year out after busting my ACL & all the lads in my Sunday team think I've come back as a *better* player. Think that's more just a measure of how godawful I was before, mind. I never had a yard of pace to lose, either... There's hope for Jay yet!

It has been noticed that female athletes often come back better after having a baby....obviously not an injury (though it can smart <laugh>), but it seems to be related to taking a break from training.

As much as I want rodders to come back and find form James G is in fact correct. The depressing truth is we have to lower our expectations of Jay. Until recently some people on here were talking about relying on him during the latter stages of the season. Whilst I admire the optimism it does show a lack of appreciation about CCL rupture.

No, I don't think it does. All I do is not rule out the option that Jay might come back as good and fast as he was before. You do see the difference..? I am not a person to assume things. Or at least, I don't when it is something important. I don't rule out that Jay will be as good as before. I also don't rule out that his football career might be over after half an hour. No doubt the truth is somewhere in between. What you won't find me doing is making assumptions about his injury him based on little or no personal data.

Players and being honourable died out when Le Tiss retired(maybe Gerrard as well).

Oh harsh in the extreme. Just look at that young Lallana feller. Pledged himself for life to SFC. Haven't seen a lot of him of late, but this must be a blip.

Why not Beef? ACL with a 12 month recovery. Sounds very familiar to me.

One has his game built around speed, running at players etc. The other was a class natural goal poacher with a eye for goal. It will effect Jay far differently then it did Ruud.

Of course, but Hotbovril was just pointing out a player who stayed a top player after a year long ACL injury. All he was saying is that it is possible.

I haven't seen it on a guy who uses his speed/ runs into the box yet.

Robert Pires? Anyway, it's all pure speculation. Jay was (is hopefully) soooooo much quicker than most that even that unquantifiable "yard of pace" that he may lose should still see him quicker. If it does actually change his game, let's hope he turns into our very own Del Pierro.
