Yo Speedy, do you reckon he should have returned home and not risked harming his knee further at the WC? He probably needs rest this summer...

speedy

Yes defo, would be easy to put him out of action for a year and only get a yellow. Someone might be tempted or an accident could happen.
I didn't see the tackle but from experts who have and know his history they all think he should rest.

Sounds pretty fucking bad what you are saying. 🙁
The people you talk about, did they just see the tackle or do they know anything about what the scan showed? Is it possible that there is no ligament damage at all?

Sounds a bit like scaremongering to me, the experts that Speedy's mentioning seem only to have seen the tackle as opposed to any scans.

Rex

You'd think that the England medical staff would know better than to risk a young player's long term health for a month in Brazil. That's what I will keep telling myself anyway.

I've seen enough examples of players being rushed back to the players detriment to know that it is entirely possible its happening in Chambo's case.

They 10 days to 3 weeks is minor ligament damage. But he tore the same ligament at the start of the season. 2 complete tears and he'll be in a bad way. 3 complete tears and he's finished.

It's still based on conjecture, what ifs and a lack of detailed information - to that degree I think it's scaremongering.
Am I on my own these days in not seeing everything Arsenal related as a catastrophe waiting to happen 🙂

speedy

He'll get injured and we won't make top four ;-)

New training facility planning application going in this year hopefully. Need to keep on top of these things so good to see the club being proactive about improving our current facilities.

Also mentions the Germany fitness coach, we haven't got him yet but looking to hold further talks after World Cup. If we can sort out this current diabolical injury situation surely that alone will be worth 5-10 points a season.

Mentions Diaby is fit and hoping to have a full preseason and Theo likely to return in September. Probably won't see the best of him until the end of the year, will probably take time for him to fully get sharp on the pitch.

Fitness and conditioning coach seems critical. Can't imagine that tony colbert doesn't have some role in why the players pick up so many muscle injuries.

The Ox needs a call from someone to tell him that if there is damage to his medial ligament it is likely to be to do with the injury picked up earlier this year. Everyone thinks they are invincible when young, and he wants to be at the world cup in Brazil. Howver, really fucking it will ensure he has a meh career, and one flap to a potential last 16 place at the world cup isn't worth it. There are many other tournaments for a 20 year to have through his career.

Burnwinter

Forget Ox, Theo not back until September at the earliest is a massive blow.

really wish chambo would stop training. it's not worth it, and england isn't going to win it, anyway.

A couple websites saying Shad Forsythe has agreed to join us this summer, you'd think it is a done deal if these leaks are coming out everywhere.

Hugely important, the most crucial part of the season is the final third and more often than not our team hasn't exactly looked the fittest and we usually have the most injuries during that time. Now on the continent there have always been rumours of dodgy practises but can't imagine the rest of the league are doing it here as well! Have been hearing the same stories for years now about how our players get injured more often than others and while you can't 100% put it down to one man there is something obviously not right.

Meatwad

oh to be a fly on the wall when Forsythe goes to Colney and sees the bullshit they do there (it has to be bullshit because our injury problems aren't down to luck). and then when realizes it's wenger that calls all the shots and his input is just that, input and it doesn't mean the big man has to follow your advice. hope the ink hasn't dried on that contract.

speedy

Wenger is the manager of coarse he calls the shots. Shots like bringing in a new fitness coach for his input.
