Summer window

Strains are all tears. Partial to rupture depending on the severity.

The language used is important as is timescales.

 

Eliezer has picked up a hamstring injury in training unfortunately for the young boy, but I don't see that as a major issue.

"He's a young boy who we haven't had on the pitch yet, he's just a young kid who's coming along and I'm sure in the future when he gets over this strain he'll try to make an impact with our club and we'll look forward to that.

Quotes from TM about Mayanders injury

 

Given the amount of none contact injuries we get, I think the area should be reviewed and increased financial cost put back into the prehababilitation of physiotherapy. The BSA days were very good and I wouldn't mind getting back to that level

 

Mowbray said: "No. He did train with us but he did pick up a hamstring strain in training.

"He's here for five years and he looks powerful and strong and fast, yet he won't be ready for probably a few months now after picking up this strain. It doesn't matter because I don't sit here thinking 'look what we've got', he's a young boy, he's 18, he'll be ready when he is ready.

"It might be good for him actually to be around the building, with the lads, settling in, without the pressure of having to play football while he gets himself ready."

few more quotes from TM

 

If it could keep Kirchhoff of all people fit it’s well worth the investment

 

TM just talks a load of sense every time he's interviewed, how some have picked up that this injury is a serious 3 month recovery is beyond me.

 

Reading that, it reads to me that he's picked up an injury, but with settling in, getting up to speed with things etc it will be a few months.

It probably would have been at least a month without an injury.

 

I'm reading that as their was no plans to involve him straight away and/or he wasn't going to be ready for a month or so anyway then the strain has added a few weeks.

 

Should have been the first thing done when the season ended.

Whether the medical team are any good I have no idea, but I think you have said previously we don't have the set up technology wise anywhere near as advanced as under BSA (approaching a decade ago!).

They should have the best in place and **** the manager etc... and what they like, believe BSA set it up under him and Moyes changed it? Much like the recruitment team they should be always putting the best in place.

Under Allardyce the players were said to be constantly monitored and their training regime and minutes on matchday were specifically tailored for them to reduce the risk of injuries. Kirchoff stayed fit ffs!

 

You'll get no arguement from me on your points mate. Fully concur with them all.

 

We must still have the Cryo chamber stuffed in a cupboard at the AoL ????

 

Sure it was sold off ages ago.

 

I remember reading that on here a while ago.

 

I love how a big part of the reason for the signing is the influence he will have on the younger players. That kind of thing is invaluable in a young squad.

 

I'm really interested to see who they bring in up top. Interesting few weeks ahead.

 

Don't think he meant a few months of him being out injured, I thought it sounded like he wasn't overly concerned as he was 1 for the future and it would take him a few months to get up to speed, might be wrong. He also said it was a slight strain which wouldn't be a few months

 

He got injured in training, a lot of players get injured in training. Some players get injured in pre match warm ups. Thats just what happens in sport. Doesn't need a review to try and find someone to blame.

 

I think it’s fair to observe trends from the outside. Injury rates with different managers and fitness/medical teams. You cannot say our injury rate does not appear, from the outside at least, to be high. The club is trying to improve across the board and we all want the best. We comment on match day performance, transfers, ticketing etc. Why not debate our injury record too? The end of last season clearly demonstrates the impact on the team.

 

Just been reading a bit on Maitland-Niles

He’s a free agent and fit. It would be ambitious but surely any club bottom 8 Prem and top half Championship be looking at that? Surely?
