Injuries And Suspensions

[Paplane]

Osei tutu back out on the grass at arsenal with the ball at his feet.

He will get injured when he kicks it.

He could be the answer to our problems if Spence is recalled, I think a similar player and at least as good quality.
But will he stay fit? 

It'd be a gamble on the rb spot with him for the rest of the season. As sad as it is for a young talented lad, no way can the club rely on this guy.

He's had a bad injury.  Those things?  Not sure you're body will ever let you forget them.  It is a gamble to 'bet' on him.

Half a season and he's not played.  That's just not good enough if you want the top 6.  Football is ruthless.  And as an athlete, your body has to be up to it.

A little candle of hope.  Colback came back from a bad injury and we're seeing 'the real deal' Colback now.  (On of my favourite Forest players.  Got that 'Who the **** do you think you're looking at?' faces.  You need that in a team.). It's possible for players to come back. But certain ones, eg. Cohen, their body just can't take that position and the hammer it gives their body.

It's down to Cooper and Forest's recruitment team.  But that's the 2nd RB from Arsenal now.  Jenks had his ankle clattered(?) and he's been invisible since.  

Spence is either staying or needs replacing if recalled.

Bad news that. He might well have played his last game for us.

The injury is bad news for us but I dont see why he would be recalled. If anything it makes continuing the loan more likely. He would return to Sheff U as 3rd choice LB under the same manager who agreed to his loan to begin with. Hope to see him back with us soon, he is a big loss to how we set up.

I see where you are coming from SM. I suppose it also depends on whether Sheff Utd pick up an injury to one of their left backs too. They might also accept a bid for Lowe from another club.

Lots of ifs and buts.

Yeah surely means we likely don't have to sign him on a perm in Jan as no-one is going to be bidding for someone that is injured. Should hopefully allow to the loan to continue to the summer. Or maybe lower the asking price so we can make it permanent.

What a horrendous time to get this injury though, just before the christmas schedule and no more international breaks. Pretty much the worst possible time for this. Is Tutu anywhere close to returning does anyone know? I saw something a while ago about him training again, if we could milk him for a few games at LWB that would help.

All this makes the decision to send out Ioannou on loan even more baffling.

I wonder if he can be recalled in January.
