    Must be something disciplinary. Can't see what else they'd have to make a statement about ;hmm

    This is what I think the signing of Jack Wilshire will be like for the 3 years he is with us. Essentially replaced Andy Carroll with Injury prone Wilshire, I don't think the club will ever learn. xD

    He was almost gone to Chelsea wasn’t he, until he inevitably got crocked?

    Fist fight, according to some random Twitter rumours

    Statement issued - update on recovering players and 2 new injuries - thread here: http://www.whu606.com/discussion/10619/injury-and-recovery-news-for-2018-19


    I'll split the relevant comments from here....

    So now that non-event is out of the way...

    When's Anderson signing?
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    Can’t believe we’ve not signed anyone today ;whistle
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    Wonder how the two long term injuries will affect any future incomings & outgoings that were in the pipeline?
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Last 2 weeks of the window, mate - stand back or you'll be trampled in the rush.

    Yeold

    Do you think all the other players we've signed will be injury crises as well?

    If not, then perhaps the club have learned?

    Reckon we may see rondon sign after the AC news. I also wonder if AC will ever play for another Prem club again once he has finished with us?

    Adam,

    Is he likely to be any nearer the first team with the new players we have added and hopefully Hernandez playing more often?

    baracks,

    Isn't this what we did with signing Evra, I know Rondon is a different type of player, but any way signing someone just to cover an injury/suspension?

    Diop plus who at centre half? Will Ogbonna now stay or will the club make a better offer to Rice? Is this why the rumours of an offer going in for Marcelo have been renewed?

    Antonio to cover as a striker until Andy C is fit, might be a long time though.

    ;biggrin

    Still see Hugill gone if an opportunity to recoup the fee arises

    May be harsh but I didnt know him before he joined, but his record for Preston wasnt anything exicting and i thought he looked like a classic championship level striker from the clips i saw of him

    If its a choice between selling Hugill for £10m or Antonio (who can play CF) for £15mil its not even a question for me

    We need a striker.....
  • PengemanPengeman
    With Carroll out injured, I know that is normal now, until January, it makes sense to keep Antonio. He is versatile and brings the unexpected if his head is sorted out. Hugill is an an enigma. Someone must have seen something in him to fork out £10m. I like to see him given a chance.

    Manuel Pellegrini on the Carroll and Reid injuries:

    "It does mean that we have lost two players in key areas, and we’ll continue to work hard with the owners to make further additions to strengthen the playing squad, beyond the five new signings already confirmed.”

    The sum total of summer activity means I cannot wait for the season to begin. At this stage, the club could post a video of a tin of beans in a home jersey, and I'd get excited about it!

    Baz, I'm suddenly reminded of a certain scene in Blazing Saddles but I can't for the life of me think why. ;biggrin

    In light of the Andy news I think a bid needs to be made for somebody like Rondon. We need to basically plan for him leaving at the end of this season.
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    I can see Rondons positives but the guy just doesnt score goals.

    Neither does AC since he is usually on the treatment table.
  • Cuz1Cuz1
    Like for like then as ever you will get
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    Yes, but why pay another reported 16M relegation clause price for Rondon? ;hmm

    Will it be bad karma if we announce the signing of Felipe on Fri 13th?.. ;hmm
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    I don't think we can afford (in various senses) to bring in a like for like player while AC is still with us, and I don't really think it is necessary.

    If we get Anderson over the line, then we have Arnie, Yarmo and Anderson who can all play the main forward role.
