Normally players get injured while playing international games. Now they get injured before even kicking a ball for their country. Maybe we should try and get players in without a nationality?
In a perfect world we would see our best players matchfit and playing a string a games together. Unfortunately a perfect world never excisted. Nor will it ...

Neither did the word "excisted"

Being reported that he is touch and go for the liveprool game with this calf injury. Is that just the media trying to ake a story of it or should we genuinely be worried about this calf issue

Given that the Juventus game shortly follows the Dippers game I would imagine that Pellers will be doing a bit of rotating, in which case I think he will hold Vinny back for Juventus and play Mangala against Liverpool.

Hopefuly he is fit by then, the Juve game is critical if we want to top the group

This recurring calf injury must be a real concern now. Clearly rest, treatment and physio isn't curing the root of the problem.

At what point does surgery on it become a necessary option.

I've never seen it suggested there was a surgery option. Maybe there is no solution, I don' t recall seeing what the injury is apart from it always being reported as a calf injury.

vinny has been brilliant for the club , but his injury problems are a concern , and they will not improve , he's nearly 30 years old , its downhill fitness wise ,otto and mangala should be given a run they played together at Porto ,they are younger and they stay fit. We need a consistent partnership at the back and vinny isnt going to provide this anymore , title winning teams have solid centre back partnerships , although vinny's leadership will be missed , otto and mangala are the future , and bring back denayer next season with more european experience under his belt. This is not a criticism of our captain , hes given us 5 or 6 great seasons , he is a legend , but time moves on.

Yeah we should bench our best/most important player this season and the best captain any club could wish for.

Why not go the whole hog and pack the old cnut off to Dignitas?

Unbelievable.
