Christ, WMS have their tomatos out already. If we don’t reinvest the money, bad. If we DO reinvest the money, also bad because Will Grigg. Unbelievable man, honestly.

Ridiculous eh. Actively trying to sell our players?? What because weve got 10 million for a player who played 15 or so games for us last season n who wont sign a new deal

Obviously need to bring a couple forwards in now, but 10 million will help us improve the squad

Do you know, based on your medical/sports injury expertise whether the club will already know whether Stewart is capable of returning to his pre-injury levels or is it a case of nothing being certain until he's actually out there playing?

It's a tough call and no way to be sure until max intensity is applied in game situation. Have to consider his height too, that can effect recover and reoccurring injury possibility.

There has been research into the recovery and level of performance once recovered and it's about 1 in 5 don't come back and perform with same intensity / same level.

Have to take into account his grade 3 ruptured Quad too though, that's also a monster injury that could go at any point.

Overall, contractually, his injury record and other factors, this is why I have said for a long time he would leave this window. The second injury screwed a contract signing.

I've heard a lot of the issue with achilles injuries and the reason that a lot of players are never the same again is the psychological impact of the injury.

The only positive I’m taking from Downies post is that he’s mentioned a fee rather than it being “undisclosed” hopefully that means a fee has been agreed for someone eg Cannon as a replacement and we’re not trying to hide what Southampton have offered for fear of being priced out of signing a replacement by a club knowing how much we have received

….does that make sense????

Mate, he’s flying down to Southampton tonight. Why wouldn’t that be him?

I don’t think you’re getting my original point that I clarified later on. I’ve no doubt he’s off but I don’t think that pictures a recent one. My main point is I’m sick of people trying to get exposure and clicks from what is a negative story on our front, these are from supposed supporters as well and it just destabilises the fan base all for a few retweets or 10 pence ad profit on their website.

What evidence do you have that it’s not a recent picture?
