I've seen more reliable ashtrays on motorbikes than this guy...he must surely have been on drugs when he went injury free for all of 6 months last season

The op and long term absence is new though, isnt it?
Plus the likelihood the 8-10 weeks turns into back in 2013.
Plus, it reminds us of giving new contracts to generally underperforming/perpetually injured players on the back of a few good (ie: what is expected) games.
Unfortunately, he has shown bad attitude as well as good in games, and is part of the cancer of underachievement, and settling for it, that has infected the club.

Exactly, I said when they gave him a new contract that it was the wrong decision. The best he should have been offered is pay as you play. The likes of Rosicky, Diaby and even RVP have given a false impression of strength in depth over the last 5 years. Yes we have had a lot of contracted players, but we've often been short of fit players.

It might not be new but its news.... I think people care because we need our better players to be fit and available fuck me we just need fit players even iof they arent our better ones what with Diaby, Wilshere our midfield is hardly brimming with bodies let alone good ones... This is news
