No real surprise, Orlandi is always picking up knocks. Would be more of a surprise if he strung ten games on the trot together. Must be a Spanish thing, apart from Calderon & Lopez they all seem very fragile at best.

Where was this story released? Can't find any info about it, only on here!

When the club said they were going to be investing in the Loan market..... I assume they must have used the wrong loan sharks who have promptly come round and knee capped most of our squad....

100% THIS. Just as I was starting to get a good vibe about our midfield.

I'm trying to think of one good game he's had since he came back.

Dreadful news, this will be a massive loss

There it is, a trusty Stat Brother post.
Looking at the players you've listed
Buckley - Massively off the pace
Kemy - Still appears to be unfit
Spanish Dave - Woeful
KLL- Carrying an injury.
Barnes - When is he back from his injury?
It's not the end of the world but our attacking options are limited.

Not awoke
Blimey the way some people have gone on you would have thought someone had died.....no doubt he was a game changer against Millwall....but then we won the previous 2 without him...hopefully the other injured lot are on there way to fitness (obviously not CMS/HOSKINS)....otherwise the bench will start looking like the development squad

You obviously haven't looked very closely - post number 4 on this thread links to The Argus report on this story.
Forgive me for listing the 9 players currently available to be in and around Orlandi's position.
One player, who is excellent but has hardly featured this season, being missing for a dozen games doesn't limit our attacking options.
It changes the dynamic of our set up, it asks questions of other players in the SQUAD, it doesn't leave us with 3 players plus Ulloa.
Save your bedwetting for that injury, cos we'll all be twisting our knickers then.

Orlandi! Bloom?

Orlandi is one of the few true attacking players in our squad, Agustien, Bridcutt, Ince, Crofts certainly are not. As we know Barnes and Lua Lua are carrying injuries and Buckley and Lopez have been awful. CMS and Hoskins are perma-crocks. Andrews has looked promising. You really are clutching at straws if you think our squad isn't stretched and thread bare. We've all been hugely excited by the potential return of Orlandi because
A- he looked brilliant against Millwall
B- everyone else who plays in his position (attacking, not midfield cloggers) has been crap or is injured
with that in mind I'd say yes we are lacking cover in his position.
Predictably you seem to be pretty much the only person who doesn't see this a huge blow.

Shit !!
Crofts - there's always one!! That's now 10 players.
The squad is stretched in the striker position, which is why the club have said one is coming in.
We are light on wingers but have managed with playing just one for two seasons, with March on the bench, we can scrape 3.
We might not be able to play expansive football with Crofts, Kemy, Andrews, Bridcutt, JFC, Buckley, Dave, KLL, Ince and Barnes, but we certainly are not thread bare.
It's up to Oscar to make it work, and I'm blooming well sure he can.
CMS and Hoskins aren't in the debate.
