Actually I think he IS very good for a squad player/backup.

what about Krompy?

nothing to see here...

Think about all the coaching he could get in July...

been very consistent in the premiership over the years. As a stop gap, he would be fine. But we already have Fowler

get in

hours of fun

1st rule about forum lore... you don't talk about forum lore.

you can LOL all you like... but speaking to a Physio about surgery is like asking to a Steward what its like to play at the World Cup.

Full rupture/tear or not, it shouldn't make a lot of difference. I spoke to plenty of Physios & Surgeons about this before my surgery. Like I said, unless he has other damage in his knee, he should be fine. The jarring of the knee will cause swelling, and the ACL tear will result in some bleeding. Once this swelling/fluid is reduced, he should have a painless but unstable knee.

Pongolle too

he'll be fine. There was (apparently) no other damage to the knee - just a clean tear of the ACL. It's an injury that most footballers dread because it can happen very easily, and its quite a lengthy layoff. With proper rehabilitation the operated knee should be stronger than the non-operated one. Statistics show that you are more likely to injure your other knee, than the repaired one. Other players who've had the injury/surgery that I can remember are Shearer, Pires & Baggio. Our own Zenden. Baggio played football again 80 days after the injury. He accelerated his rehab to get to the `94 World Cup.

true, but that was Houlliers mistake more than anything. To quote from the various Morientes threads.... "he always gave 100% on the pitch."

The lad has had a bit of bad luck with injuries at the start of loan periods which never allowed him to settle. We'll be lucky to find a buyer...

The source is this site. Do keep up.

guess he would expect to be 1st team then...

rather than making comments in all the other threads, why don't we discuss him here...

Jewish name that in't it?

Klose, but no cigar...

25 in 26 for Werder Bremen last season.

these kind of hypotheticals get boring after a while. Just f***ing watch the world cup will you. And if you don't like England, then don't watch em.
