Wonder if he means we can only buy a player if we sell but as iversons a loan we can get one more loan in? 

I'd imagine we're trying to off load Soumare on a permanent, and this will mean we can bring in another.

[Lillehamring]

Such is the sport that any quote about 'having to sell' is frankly meaningless.   Even if it was true at the time, even if it wasn't just a general reference to a wider sense of 'moving players on', it's the sort of position that can change in the bat of an eyelid.

 

And even if it's true and remains so, it doesn't rule out bringing in a replacement on loan.

The game is up, "Herr Fuchs".  I've worked out your carefully guarded identity.

 

Whatever You need to get your rocks off... 

Another that would rather demean is fellow supporter instead of encouraging, banter & debate over our football club...

 

I live & love the flexability of our language,and use it, sometimes erratically error based, but like football systems and flaws the fun in trying.. and not self-serving or outflanking the base of the debate.. 

Correction and control also conveniently turns its own blind eye to natural progress... 

 

I can afford and carry the stigma of being an idiot, my life ran all those rapids...

Just competing  to be held up in 20years time has a FT-misunderstood genius.... 

I don't need RTG, I am more than capable of ballsing it  up by myself..

That is my idea of banter 

 

Appears I've poked with too sharp a stick this time.  Sorry I hurt your feelings.

He did it during the Cardiff game. Muscle injuries usually occur due to a lack of rest, I am not purely blaming Maresca because Ndidi has been injury prone for a while but he was gambling with the fitness of our players with an unchanged lineup in a congested period.

I dunno, Enzo's been rotating pretty well I'd say in general. A few surprise starting XIs with good results this season, and he's done a decent job protecting Ricky.

 

Vardy had plenty of rotation and still suffered injury, sometimes these things just happen. I don't think Wilf played much past the hour in these games?

 

I'm pleased we blasted through December and picked up the points we did, it puts us in a great position.

Not a stick sharp enough,don’t worry I take what I give out,and give out what I take.

Dont like bullies..but KingsX has never shown such dabblings..

my eraser is stronger than pen,which is stronger than the sword..

...and we were concerned about losing him for AFCON!

 

That is a bit of a blow.

Is it me or apart for Rennes away where he actually went off clearly injured, all his other injuries are a bit of a shock, finding out days after our last game?

I don't know for sure, but I doubt Soumare is registered, anyway.

But he's still sitting on a hefty wage that we're probably paying some of. That will be the issue

It’s not going to. Think you’re burying your head in the sand if you think we’re signing anyone this month

Nothing is certain and it won’t be easy to get a player of the right quality, but the club will be seeking to do business this month. It’s nowhere near as unlikely as you seem to imply. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we get a midfielder in on loan.

The points per game difference with and without Ndidi is huge. After last two games it’s probably below 2 now when he’s not playing and seem to remember something like 2.60 when he does play. Can’t be back quick enough 

[happy85]

He back in 2 weeks playing . Quoted by himself 🤔

I was surprised too. Said it clearly not back in training but back playing

tbf depends on the type of surgery he could well be;

think he'll be slowly brought back in, personally, can see him being back for the Leeds away game

Depend what the surgery was, he's already been out 4 weeks.

tbf surgery is incredibly advanced nowadays, where you can have hip surgery and the next day or 2 be doing rehab

Hope we use common Sensi and not rush him back…

Nasty git Warnock on the touchline, but you can't not like him! Old skool 

[STUHILL]

Looking at that midfield today, and who came on, we were sorely missing Ndidi's physicality. Doesn't even need to be a DCM for us, just being on the pitch means we have someone who can battle in both boxes. 

 

Feels like we need another CM as well as Sensi, who has Ndidi's physicality, especially in the air at both ends. Unfortunately, I don't trust that Ndidi will stay fit for the remaining games.
