He won't make the squad this week either.

Frustrating.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

That's a blow, the squad is touch light at the moment

 

[Dirk Lehmann's Python]

For God Sake.

 

[El Turi]

A real shame as he is the man who can start turning these draws into wins.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Get him fully right before bringing him back in, as we'll need him in the run in. I'd hate him to come back too soon and then break down again.

 

[Berty23]

Ban his goal celebration. It can't help.

 

[Tony Le Mesmer]

Why are people surprised.....
This is typical of Lua Lua (and most wingers,see Buckley)

Just so frustrating

 

[Icy Gull]

Only ever fit for half a season isn't he? I seem to recall this syndrome of missing 5 times as many games as expected most time he gets injured, which is quite often. Hence my suggestion that we should just play him as an impact sub fro 20 mins when he is fit

 

[Questions]

What is his injury ? Don't need a doctors report but what part of his body ?

Groin.

Shirley, it's such a fine line between fully fit and breaking down, it doesn't really matter.

Unfortunately its a very common downside for a player who's main asset is explosive pace - they are just cripplingly fragile, and always seem to be on the brink of another strain, or tear, or pull. Michael Owen was pretty much ruined not long after his mid-20's, and had been a shadow of the player who'd burst onto the scene at 17. He was a busted flush by the time he wound his career down at United.

KLL is nearly 25 now, which is no age at all, or shouldn't be. But he's not going to start healing any quicker as he gets older. I think we'll be lucky to get more than half a season out of him most of the time now.

 

[Mellotron]

One of the reasons that numerous managers have used him as an impact sub, perhaps?

We shouldn't be surprised. I'm not that gutted as I just assume he's out and see it as a bonus when he's not. He's our Walcott.

 

[chucky1973]

but 5 weeks ago, he was almost back fit?

 

[Simster]

He won't make the squad this week either.

Frustrating.

There are too many Albion related threads on here today. And as usual it's all fking BAD news.

At this rate we will end up LOSING a game.

 

[El Presidente]

I thought this thread was about HB&B asking a sensible question at the press conference or writing something intelligible in the Brighton Independent

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Burying the bad news right now, is that so it will get lost of because there is good news that will swamp it? I'm off to sit down in preparation

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Fairly long term injury + balsa wood player + less than a weeks training (at the time of writing) = not worth risking.

It's bloody frustrating as we really need him, but I think waiting will be worth it. If he's still out on the 5th, then maybe then is the time for concern.

 

[BensGrandad]

Would the loan signing of Van La Parre indicate his return is at least 2 or 3 weeks way?

Would the loan signing of Van La Parre indicate his return is at least 2 or 3 weeks way?

That was my take on this signing
