I don't think it's particularly pretentious to not believe much of what comes out from clubs and players

 

[big mean bunny]

I think that is a bit unfair personally. It's fans and random hatred, comments and abuse that have driven players from social media or into having their stuff managed and vetted or controlled. Now when players aren't wasting their time on it people are moaning at them for not caring enough etc, it does feel like they can't win.

Strand Larsen set to be offered a new contract. What will the buyout clause be ?

Has he got his shin pads on the wrong way round, or have I been putting them in my socks the wrong way round all my life?

Genuinely thought Sasa had a lot to offer the squad this season. He does look absolutely fucked after 10-15 minutes on the pitch, though - so it'll be good to see if he can work up his fitness so he's capable of playing most/all of the game - but even for 10-15 minutes I'd have preferred him off the bench to Hwang.

That said, I did see a few videos of Tolu yesterday from a thread put up on Twitter with some insight on how he plays - he makes some really good runs off the ball and seems a lot quicker than I expected - so if he can give us the big man off the bench option for now, I'm also ok with that.

We all know the plan will be to have Tolu as the main man with Sasa as back up next season when JSL is inevitably sold anyway...

Doesn't matter how good his runs off the ball are if we have no one to pick the pass.

 

[basher]

I'd 100% have kept Sasa not least due to the fact that he is a footballer, which qualifies him above others that will make up the matchday squad.

 

[BillyDee]

Also, if he needs careful easing back into playing I'd rather it was done here than elsewhere.
Incompetent going over the non HG limit.

 

[lemonjelly]

i thought there wasn't space in the squad for him given the numbers?

 

[Lycan]

It's a shame as he's a good player but the last thing he needs is Premier League football. It would be utterly negligent to ask him to put his career at risk like that.

Hopefully he gets through a whole season there, we get a reasonable fee for him next summer and he goes on to have a long career at a decent level.

 

[basher]

I don't really think it matters what league he is in, if his ACL is going to go again it'll go by virtue of just playing, nothing else.

Seen plenty of ACL's go and there was nothing in it to make you question initially the severity of the injury.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

It's a shame as he's a good player but the last thing he needs is Premier League football.

Is there evidence out there that suggests ACLs are more vulnerable in the Premier League than elsewhere?

No idea.

Its also surely got the most advanced S and C people employed within it!

Can't say I agree with Sasa there.

Guess it depends how he’s defining “speed”.

Distance over time usually.
