What to do with William Buckley????

[Seagulls1984]

Great player when fit but its ridiculous at the moment , can't keep going on like this . Will any club really sign him, I can't see it. This sounds stupid but I'd imagine he not far from retirement , you can get 4 or 5 hamstring injurys a season and expect to get contracts. Very sad tho.

He needs to find something to sort himself out. I read that Ryan Giggs used to suffer with regular hamstring issues in his younger years, and MU eventually had to tailor a unique training programme for him, and of course he famously turned to Yoga.

Buckley is 24, with a full career in front of him, but somebody needs to work out the specifics of what is going wrong.

He does have other strings to his bow other than pace, such as his finishing ability, but it seems like when he gets too nervous to really put on the afterburners due to his hamstring issues the other aspects of his game suffer just as much.

Giggs has said one way he managed his chronic hamstring problems was
to never run at full speed.He had many other attributes .
the question for will is how far can he go in the game without his
tremendous pace? Sadly he will not be the first or last sportsman to
not fufill his potential due to injuries

Didn't the Conservatives try and do that in the 80's?

 

[colonies man]

Shame but if he was a horse he get both barrels.

 

[Giraffe]

We should have sold him to Sunderland in January. £1.5million for a nearly always injured player?!! We could have signed Conway and possibly another.

 

[ROSM]

Its a confidence thing now. He looks nervous, every tweak hits him. Not wanting to run at pace etc. Perhaps a good close season of rest may assist? We have a good doctor on the payroll so you have to assume he has looked at all avenues already?

 

[Rookie]

Hopefully the new training ground will help, better training pitches same as the AMEX etc.

Get shot and move on

Have him stuffed and put in the museum.

Would suggest most of the problem is in his head. How you can be taken off for an injury then 60 mins later state in an interview you'll be ok for a game in three days time doesn't compute.

I'm sure our physio team do a wonderful professional job, but as each player has come back this season, they have shown the same trait - fear of getting injured again! I do wonder whether the players are getting the correct mental training as well as physical while sidelined.

Leo is the perfect example and CMS is the exception (but I think he has overflowing inner reserves of enthusiasm - all shown by the run up the right wing last night as soon as he was brought on - if there had been a brick wall there, he'd still have taken it on!)

Not any more. It folded.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Weren't people saying not so long ago that we would have been stupid to have sold him for the supposed THREE MILLION that Swansea bid in the summer?

 

[Austrian Gull]

Don't really get this argument about his pace is his only asset - he is technically a good player. Didn't he provide the backheel prior to the goal?
