Our medical staff cannot seriously be expected to remember all of that off the top of their head.
They've got tablets. They can write it out on them.
Oh so now you expect them to write too?
Here's what will happen if they followed your foolish idea:
Oh, they haven't got THOSE. They broke those ages ago. I meant THESE!
It'll take three pots and a very thin-tipped Sharpie to write it all out.
I had a hip replacement 7 years ago. My surgeon came highly recommended (by my best mate who is also an orthapedic surgeon). On my first consultation he asked me if I ever get sciatica and I told him I get it about 5 or 6 times a year and it's horrible. He said that he reckoned I would not have any further bouts of sciatica after the operation! He was right.
Apparently, without me even noticing it, I had changed my walking/running stride over many years as the hip pain worsened and the unnatural gait had, over time, caused back issues.
I sense a really fascinating legal case.
That being the case surely he would therefore be considered reborn and good for another 30 years? Not bad for a free transfer.
I would’ve taken Sturridge’s brain and put it in Origi’s body.
Is studge still without a club btw.
Yes. He's still only 31, you'd think loads of clubs would be interested.
Not even taking the piss, I reckon there's a decent chance Van Dijk will be back before Thiago.
Lol, no way
We'll see.
I recon we'll see Thiago against Villa.
Which season?
Or do you mean against David Villa in the old boys retirement league? Probably more likely.
Should have left it at "which season?".
Until the next injury
Fabinho & Phillips pairing is two matches not one. One goal conceded.
Surely its proof positive that we need to purchase somebody, unless our medical and performance analysis teams are working on the assumption that when he comes back in mid Jan he will somehow have turned into a player who is capable of playing 2 games a week for 5 months, which he has never been in his career.
I get that the injury to VvD was a shock and completely upended our plans, but Matip and Gomez getting injured frequently is not at all a surprise.
Apart from the second half of the 18/19 season ...
Well the problem surely is partly financial. Next season our centre back pairing will be VVD and one other, most likely Gomez (and Gomez's agent is clear that unless he's a regular he'll move to a London club asap, so people can forget about him settling into a back-up role). So if we go for another really top CB now, on top wages, he's either going to replace Gomez next season or become an overly-expensive sub as well as, in FSG's eyes at least, blocking the development of the young CBs.
And if we go instead on a short term replacement, good enough to play ahead of the kids this season but probably not good enough to partner VVD on a regular basis, he'd probably need to come on loan to persuade FSG to do the deal.
And those two options are based on the presumption that the right players are available on those terms. I'm sure Klopp wants another CB, but unless FSG can be convinced that a signing won't undermine player development and/or end up being an expensive sub, I can't see them sanctioning anything.
