It's not just the length of the injury list either. It's the longest list I can remember consistently having, but it's also been almost entirely players you'd have in your first XI. A lot of the time about 1/3 of your injured players are reserves/bench players who've picked them up in training. This season you're looking at 1/5 even at good times, and most of the injuries have meant changing things early in games as well.
Whatever happens at the end of the season 3 certain PL strikers will be on the move. Charlie Austin, Danny Ings and Saido Berahino. It looks like Ings will be off to Liverpool but who will want Austin and Berahino. ? Southampton maybe ?
Absolutely class player, Diarra. Another one whose career went belly-up (in football terms, not financially) thanks to a move to Russia.
Worra shame we didn't sign that **** Bendtner that a few were clamouring for in the summer window, he's scored a full one goal for Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, back in November, and then settled back into his standard non scoring form. Missed a diamond there Brucey.
To be fair, he's only started 3 games and played the last 20 minutes of 8 others. Wolfsburg mainly play Olic as a lone striker, Bendtner only tends to get on if Olic's injured or knackered.
I doesn't look like it, he was an unused sub at the weekend, they played Das Bost instead, they've also got Schürrle now(it looks like it was a good decision, they won 3-0 on Saturday).
Jimmy Kebe has just been released by Palace. Why on earth aren't these contract terminations done before the end of the transfer window, so these players can sort another club?
Possibly, but you'd still think it would be better for them to agree these things ten days earlier, so they're not just limited to talking to MLS clubs..
