Stadt Posted 28 May 2017 Posted 28 May 2017 He's a decent player but signing injury prone players is just silly, what good is a player if they're only available for half of the season? Very short term signing considering his age too.
TheUltimateWinner Posted 28 May 2017 Posted 28 May 2017 We need young up and coming replacements for our ageing defence. There's no one under 30 in our usual back 4. Why add an injury prone 30 year old to the ranks?

There are people who constantly pull muscles and pick up niggles and there are those just bloody unlucky with a few serious injuries. A bit of googling and the bloke has had absolutely no luck with injuries. Lacerated kidney in a match, fractured ankle in training accident. Might have just been very unfortunate.

Tuna Posted 28 May 2017 Posted 28 May 2017 A quick twitter research round suggests Southampton fans thought he was decent in his one game and couldn't understand why Puel wouldn't play him. Apparantly he was on 100k a week there
foxy boxing Posted 28 May 2017 Posted 28 May 2017 To injury prone and I'd ideally want a defender in the 24 - 29 range. We have too many defenders that are 30+ and the older you get the more likely they are to pick up an injury!

A lot of wounds, breaks, fractures etc in there. I'd say he's been bloody unlucky with all those injuries. Not a huge number of muscle injuries, no more than the norm anyway. I think he's broken a mirror and walked under a ladder or something.

I think he's broken a mirror and walked under a ladder or something. 6 muscle injuries by my count in 5 years, he's been a tad unlucky but still the fact remains that he's not reliable whether it's luck or not. Much link the Debuchy link, injury prone, big wage demands, wrong age.
norwichfox Posted 28 May 2017 Posted 28 May 2017 I don't really want an unlucky talisman, Mendy's problems are enough for this team.
Dan Posted 29 May 2017 Posted 29 May 2017 £100k a week for someone who is likely to hardly ever play. I've no doubt he's a good defender but it's a resounding no from me.
Fox 4 Life Posted 29 May 2017 Posted 29 May 2017 The question is can he still command 100k a week? Hardly in a great negotiating position without a club. If he had lit up the prem at soton maybe, but he didn't. I would be shocked if he has many 100k offers on the table anymore so we should offer him a lower wage or an incentivesed pay as you play type deal.

He'd cost nowhere near that surely, he wouldn't even get that on a pay as you play deal.
