Ulloa out for "2 months"

[nwgull]

Hmmmm, CMS still on crutches, several players off form, relegation scrap anyone?

Perspective needed. 2 months equates to six games. Even if we don't win a game until Leo is back we'd still have 30 more games after that, which is enough to still get us into the top 6, never mind mid-table mediocrity.

Play Kazenga at number 9, he will scare the death out of the oppo

He'd certainly make a splash

But who's to say he'll be the same player when he returns?. Seen plenty of players who was good before Injuries and once returned become utter gash.

People seem to forget we have Barnes

No...we don't forget. We listen to fans who say he can play down the middle, the target man, the lone striker role. Then we go to Ipswich and watch him and realise that he can't. Physically, he isn't strong enough. Centre halfs lean on him and he can't hold the ball. The slightest nudge and the ball rebounds three yards off him. He can't win the ball in the air. He is a link-up player, a support player.
We only had one target man anyway and now we have none. No one who can head the ball, upfront.
Action.....please!

Hopefully the club will be able to get a decent loanee in now as they'll pretty much be guaranteed 1st team football, whereas before they'd be a backup to Ulloa.

I personally doubt very much that he'll forget how to be a GIANT beast of a striker with a superb positional sense just because he's hurt his foot.

I was being ironic.

I don't care what you were being, but what you said needs to happen within the next couple of weeks or the season is over.

Get a grip. He's out for what will probably amount to 6 matches.

 

[Zebedee]

I assume the club will be signing a replacement on loan by the end of day.

You'd like to think so but sadly....we don't do strikers.

 

[saafend_seagull]

I would take 20th if it was offered to me to be honest.

Oscar really unlucky with injuries.

 

[sharpey38]

So it is really 4 months then, I have never known a player in recent times to comeback when first stated, it has always seemed to be doubled.

Not good at all

Its interesting that we are looking at Bakary Sako.

Not from breaking a tiny bone in their foot they don't.

You seem to have become more and more pessimistic over the years. Are you missing Gus or just losing your Albion mojo?

Yes sorry about that, I forgot what great back ups we have available at the club. Silly me.

Are we ?

Forest want him as well.

Another Wolves boy? Aren't the board of directors aware Wolves got relegated with these players?

Good player but is not going to solve our striker problem. He is a left winger and we have recently taken Conway on loan. Unless Oscar is thinking of Buckley or LuaLua down the middle.

It's bloody needed in amongst the doom and gloom bed wetters on here. Leo's got an injury that happens to loads of professional footballers at one time or other in their career: Beckham, Gerrard, Rooney (twice), Messi, Ashley Cole, are just a few of the higher profile examples. It seems that all of them recover and are just as good as previously.

There are 2 international breaks over the next 2 months, so he may only miss 6 games, yet people are overreacting and going on about a relegation dogfight despite the fact that we're currently 8 points clear and can look forward to getting our player of the season back, along with Orlandi and CMS sometime in the next 5-6 weeks. And last point: apart from the palace and Huddersfield home games last year, our most emphatic wins - 6-1 Blackpool, 5-1 Barnsley, 3-0 Ipswich and Wednesday - were all without Ulloa playing.
