Whitey Grandad Posted 24 January, 2017 Share Posted 24 January, 2017 Technical question, are there any rules against playing whilst using crutches or any other walking aids? Yes, Law 4 - Safety: 'A player must not use equipment or wear anything that is dangerous to himself or another player (including any kind of jewellery).

jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 24 January, 2017 Share Posted 24 January, 2017 No other media source reporting it. Puel suggested it wasn't a bad injury. I think early prognosis would have indicated if it was going to be long term. I don't think he will play tomorrow but back sooner rather than later.

Edmonton Saint Posted 25 January, 2017 Share Posted 25 January, 2017 The folly of selling Fonte without adequate backup has gone spectacularly wrong as it only can when involving Southampton FC, We are now with less than a week left in the transfer window and yet again we have yet to secure the additions to the squad we need = (Striker/Centre back for starters). I worry about the arrogance from those in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Munster Posted 25 January, 2017 Share Posted 25 January, 2017 Rat-faced little c**t Yes he is. And what's really aggravating is that they (Leicester) have benefited from very few injuries over the last 2 seasons (I doubt they would've won the league if they had a normal run of injuries last season). My respect for them has disappeared, and I now would be quite pleased if they go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 25 January, 2017 Share Posted 25 January, 2017 If he is out for "3 months", and if his recovery doesn't go as well as expected, and if he's truly off in the summer, could this be the first time a Saints player was officially made captain and never got to represent the club in that capacity? Lots of "ifs" but it's possible... One thing for sure... We need a centre back this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Albert Posted 25 January, 2017 Share Posted 25 January, 2017 Adam Blackmore had an exchange with a Saints supporter on Twitter on Tues with the supporter claiming ITK that VVD has broken a bone in the top of his foot.

Saint_clark Posted 25 January, 2017 Share Posted 25 January, 2017 F*ck I really hope this is b*llocks, i'm clinging to the notion the club has fed misinformation to try and pull the wool over Liverpools eyes. If he is out for that long, that means that even if we do manage to get through later today he'll miss the final as well. F*cking c*nt Vardy, f*cking c*nts match of the day for leaving it out and saying he just went down after jumping for a header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaffaSaint Posted 25 January, 2017 Share Posted 25 January, 2017 Two explanations for the club keeping quiet. One, they want to keep it under wraps so that he's a surprise for Liverpool on the teamsheet. Or the other, that he's out for a while and they don't want to announce it in case it affects ticket sales (i.e, people who were on the fence don't bother). They may also want to keep a bad injury quiet so it doesn't push up the price in negotiations for a new cb Sent from my HUAWEI GRA-L09 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whelk Posted 25 January, 2017 Share Posted 25 January, 2017 Can't think of anyone I hate more than Vardy now. Inbred little racist w*nker. To think I was pleased when he broke that record. Football eh, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpsaint Posted 25 January, 2017 Share Posted 25 January, 2017 I'm still of the hope that the whole thing is a smokescreen, and the club secretly drove VVD to Liverpool rather than publicly put him on the flight .

I worry about the arrogance from those in charge. Have to agree that if the Club assumed Stephens (rookie) Gardos (hasn't played for years) and Yoshida (not bad, but not great) would be adequate replacement and back up for a Euro winner leaving, then it is folly. Brought into sharper focus now that the defensive leader, (official) new Captain and best player in the team by a long way may be looking at a period of time on the sidelines. We all hope he isn't injured too badly, but one thing is for sure, we are fragile at the back without our main man and probably only up to the level of a decent Championship standard with the remaining CB's. That is a worry for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyinthesky Posted 25 January, 2017 Share Posted 25 January, 2017 Just as well we picked up 3 points v Leicester. The meltdown amongst us negative folk if we had lost on Saturday and seen our two main central defenders not available for the rest of the season would have been immense. We still have plenty to do in the League but unless there is a replacement central defender brought in what happens if Yoshi is injured or suspended?
