Dig Dig Posted 22 December, 2012 Share Posted 22 December, 2012 Well that's a f*cking disaster. It's brilliant that the club don't tell the fans the extent of the injury though krackers. Much better to have to rely on information leaked on the mongboard otherwise, whoever we are playing in 10 weeks time might be thinking of changing tactics or whatever!

Saint Charlie Posted 22 December, 2012 Share Posted 22 December, 2012 10 weeks would tie in with THEVMAN's comments and seems realistic. Not sure where the rumours he would be back soon have come from apart from Simon Peach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delmary Posted 22 December, 2012 Share Posted 22 December, 2012 I think Adkins needs to man up a bit. If AL is out for a couple of months so what. This secret squirrel stuff is pathetic. Sorry, this post is bound to upset the likes of NickG who will not allow criticism of our hallowed club but we are taking ourselves far to seriously on this issue. He's injured, come clean and let's deal with it. If Adam is out for an extended period, then bringing in cover will be costly. January is always a seller's market and therefore advertising such information is not commercially sensible, it will just push transfer prices up. Therefore, best to keep such information confidential until cover is sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 22 December, 2012 Share Posted 22 December, 2012 So just to summarise we've had everything from might be on the bench today to had an operation and out for 10 weeks.

$$$ Posted 24 December, 2012 Share Posted 24 December, 2012 Just to add to what has already been said… I was sat very close to the boxes where the players and WAGs were sitting. He told the small group that formed around him at half time that he would be “out for a while”. Was walking with a heavy limp and looked like his knee was strapped up.

Its just people posturing I believe, there were a few bits off info from the training ground coming out at the beginning of his assesment, then there seemed to be a lockdown, you are going to get info coming out though, people around him know, the players probably know. I applaude the clubs effort to keep it schtum from some siort of strategical point of view ? But in reality if the media start digging itll come out.

I'm sure that's the way Cortese thinks. I think its pretty obvious to anyone in football who bothers to check that AL is out for a bit. An insult to intelligence of others to think you can hoodwink them. Also not sure that one medium term injury would alter our transfer plans, seems very knee jerk to purchase a player based on a two month injury. If we were going to get a wideman we still will, if we werent then we wont IMO. We have targets I hope, and a Prem squad should have enough to cover for one injury otherwise its a sorry state of affairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair Window Cleaner could be right about not alerting other clubs as this may up asking prices even though the silence is frustrating for fans. We definitely need cover/competition in attacking midfield role as the lack of creativity and pace on saturday was plain to see. We are one dimensional due to our lack of pace so when the opposition stifle our game plan we have no answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 25 December, 2012 Share Posted 25 December, 2012 Good on them. My Dad asked a member of the coaching staff that he knows at the game today and he also refused to say anything.[/QUOTE] OF COURSE ! ...and this is the most sensible response. Should we really let other Prem. sides know how long one of our best players will be unavailable, and help them plan their tactics?. It's clear that Sunderland knew Adam wouldn't play....Martin O'Neill (a good tactician) knew he didn't have to worry about Lallana and double-marked Lambert instead and also snuffed out the Puncheon threat. No-one is sure just how long AL will be out, and there's no point in telling the opposition your tactics in advance.. is there?. Maybe he will be out a lot longer? .....in which case NA will probably use a plan B... especially in away games...because it's clear there isn't ANOTHER Lallana in the club. I really cannot see why some fans think they are ENTITLED to know what and when. Of course we are all concerned, but our opinions are hardly likely to affect team selection - are they ? My long term guess is that Lallana will be re-introduced into the side when we least expect it, and there shouldn't be fanfares of trumpets to herald that day, and alert our opponents. Letting the " enemy " know your strategy is not the way to win a war, (or a football match)... and if I (re)-paraphrase a famous WW2 warning ...CARELESS TALK COST....POINTS !

S-Clarke Posted 28 December, 2012 Share Posted 28 December, 2012 Anyone any idea when he will be back cos we desperately need 2 wingers, not just the 1 in Puncheon we have at the moment. Well, if you go with the club...he's just out for the next game....until the next game, and he's out again for that one. Seems a really odd way of hiding the injury, because I think to most of us it's pretty obvious that he's out for a good few months at least, so why do we just have to hide it away? Weird. I guess we can use it to our advantage, slightly, but I'm sure the scouts within other clubs would be pretty aware of our ''real'' injury situation. But yeah, we need more in the wide areas - we did anyway, but we now do as pretty big priority in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
