Maybe I'm just odd like that.

Obviously a really good player but his hamstrings seem to be made of glass. I really hope he sorts it out - but it's not looking good.
You can call it bad luck , bad management , poor technique ( he pulled the hammy when he shot with his left peg ) etc etc but at the end of the day if he is worth the investment we made then we have to get the best sports medico's to look at his legs and manage the situation much better than we have in the past.
Dr Peter Bruckner was hired by Liverpool for the very same reason and while it didn't help the teams fortunes its worth noting he is amongst other things a soft tissue specialist and one would note the number of games missed by players post and prior to his introduction reduced somewhat due to soft tissue injury.
This season , VK, JR in particular and others have been missing large chunks and key games because of such injuries which didn't occur to any the degree last season.
We have to get all our squad up and running far more effectively next season if we are to be title holders again next season and if we do Manure and Chelsea etc had better recruit some decent players over the summer that hit the ground running to compete well with us.

Surely we'd be better off calling an end to his season now and giving him and the physio's a good 6 months to try and sort this once and for all without any pressure on him to rush back.

He looks like he's wearing comedy teeth and he smells of B.O

Am I right?
Yeah - taking the piss out of injured City players is a real hoot.
My how I used to laugh when the rags sang "There's a hole in your heart,dear Asa".
And when George Best broke Glyn Pardoe's leg in two places in the derby match I was in hysterics.
Not to mention Marc-Vivien Foe.
But at least you got to use your crappy pun.
So well done you.
It's not even a pun. You may as well call him Jack Hamstrings. I could maybe excuse it if it were funny but it's not, nor clever.
Yeah. For a player who actually changed every details of his personal lifestyle just to put his injuries behind and get healthy, with that knowledge, to see him get injured again shattered my heart.stimo said:I wasnrt happy with this signing at first but ive completely changed my mind, his performance at chelsea and even at villa, you can clearly see his potential. felt so sorry for the lad coming off the pitch, clearly he was devastated. just hope he is not another MJ

Putting aside the point that he's occupying a squad position and cost funds which could have got us a Dembele for same money.
It's hard to see a player who's changed so much outside of football to help himself and he's worked hard to get fit and in some good form and then he gets injured again. It's heartwrenching it really is. Injuries are when players go in dark spells and battle demons. That battle with 'luck' and feeling things are against you. I hope Lackey gives him a bit of help because I'd hate to see another prospect go to pot.
All the best to the lad but what's needed is time and rest and patience. Next season is a target now. The thing is if he doesn't stop being injured when he gets to about 22-23 then hope will fade because it looks like he's destined for a Keiron Dyer career.
