Injury Updates

[Goater=Legend]

We really should be trying out Delap but I fear we'll be playing Sterling up front every game when he needs a rest too

I think we have to, even if it’s only a loan signing. Don’t think Barca will allow Messi to leave in January, unfortunately.

Would you have taken Cavani? I would

Yep apparently said he will return to training this week and be ready to play in 5-6 weeks :(

Terrible news, I was hoping he would be ready for the Scousers on Nov 7th. With Aguero's injury we are really up against it, possibly time to give Delap a chance.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

5-6 weeks?! Fucking hell.

That doesn't make sense to me, think something has been lost in translation. Who takes 5 or 6 weeks to get fit after starting training with the other players? Only thing I can think of is, he's doing non contact stuff mainly on his own for now? Thats if the time scale is correct.

The decision not to get a striker in the window is going to bite us on the arse.

So similar to the decision not to get a centre half last season..... highly paid people making the same mistakes

5-6 weeks?! Fucking hell.

How can he be fit to train but six weeks away from playing?!

Nothing wrong with Fodens finishing - worth a try as a striker ?

100%. Think he’ll do pretty well at United. Looked sharp enough when he came on yesterday.

I agree. Think we miss the boat at times with our (my?) perceived lack of appetite to sign the like of a Cavani/Ibrahimovic. I’d also take back Dzeko in a heart beat

If Sterling gets injured now we are well and truly fucked, he seems to be quite robust and rarely picks up anything other than the odd niggle but he will be exhausted very soon.

I hope Pep looks at this and decides to give Delap a run of games, I get the feeling he could take the leap in his stride.
