A couple of teams have been unlucky with marquee signings this season. First Blackburn lose £3m signing Leon Best. Now Cardiff have lost £2.75m signing Nicky Maynard http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19644834
I hope your not tempting fate bringing this up. I pray Matty doesnt get it, i mean he is our top goal scorer and cleanest striker of the ball..................
Who, of any player, would we miss the most if they got such an injury? Looking at strength in depth and where we are lacking I might say Aluko. He's got in his locker what nobody else has ie the complete unexpected. Next would probably be Elmo, as for how good Rosie is he simply doesnt pose the attacking threat.
Aluko and Elmo without a doubt. Nothing like tempting fate but maybe we have had ours with Jack Hobbs. Time for our rivals to suffer. imo.
I would say Aluko and Koren. Elmo is good but Rosey is bloody good too, Koren is our main creative force in the team and chips in with greatly struck goals too. As others have said you have no idea what Aluko is going to do, and he also hits the ball cleanly, so he would be badly missed too. I disagree with Chaz, Fryatt, even though he scores and creates his fair share, scuffs his shots when he scores and doesn't place them in the corners so he won't be missed. I'd say we'd miss Simpson more, because regardless of the fact of whether he would or wouldn't score as many, he hits the ball sweetly and always goes for the corners.
To be honest the main striker is probably least of our worries. Jay is on fire, Matty is our top scorer of the last 2 seasons and then we have Prosser chomping at the bit and a near £1m man who although erratic would run himself into the ground for the cause.
McLean could well come on for the last 20 mins @ Lesta to add fresh legs, bang-crash-wallop impotus to tiring defenders. Mclean is the last player you want to see coming on when you have been run ragged.# Prosser IMO might just get a go next week (off the bench) against Peterboro. Whilst not taking them lightly it maybe that City players have to FORM A CUE to score in that game.
Actually as a defender, Ronaldo or Messi would be the last player you would want to see coming on from the bench. Cant believe Proschwitz hasn't played a single minute of competitive football in our last 3 games
This just proves you need a good squad of players so if someone is injured they are not to badly missed
Koren or Quinn I'd say, because for however good the rest of the team are (are we're playing bloody well), we don't really have any other creative midfielders and so would have to change the whole system if either of them got injured.
Leon Best seems to have a bit of a history injury wise, so probably was a bit of a gamble buying getting him, especially for 3 million.
Not pleasent any torn ligaments, i tore my ACL, and its the worst pain ive ever had! wouldnt wish it on anyone! Id much rather have a bone break then a torn ligament
And another striker bites the dust, Charlton have lost Yann Kermogant for three months. Broken ankle this time.
Any news on Fryatt ? The last i read he was waiting to see if he needed an op,putting him out for the rest of the season.
