Injuries

16 November 2010 482 comments

johnfinlay

Joe Hart has pulled out of training today ahead of Wednesday’s England friendly against France with a suspected back injury. Reports suggest that Hart went down quite soon after the session commenced and team-mates rushed over to discover that the England No 1 was in some serious pain. He was eventually helped from the field and it is still unclear how serious the extent of the injury is, although Fabio Capello doesn’t have any major worries…

“Hart, the doctor is waiting to decide what happened. We think it will not be a big problem for him.”

The Manchester City goalkeeper is the most owned in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game by quite some distance, being used by 30.3% of managers. He is also the highest scoring player in this position with a total of 72 points and has recently notched-up a notable three clean sheets in as many games.

If the injury does prove to be a lengthy one then Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini does of course have the ready-made replacement in the shape of the dependable Shay Given, priced at £5.4million in the FPL.

good people of FFS i bring to you my theory that bale is now better value than van der vaart. last match 'arry moved van der vaart onto the wing and played 2 strikers. defoe's return would make this move even more likely, especially in home games. van der vaart is cleaning up in home games and keeping quiet in away games. is it time to switch back to bale? van der vaart playing right mid for 8.3mil or bale playing left mid for 6.9mil?

      I doubt that Defoe has ever scored a penalty in his life.... He's hopeless at them.
      
      Can't remember his record but I think he's missed at least half of his last 10. After Pav's miss on Saturday, I'm pretty certain that VDV will take the next one regardless of who else is on the pitch.

      don't have either. the blackburn game was the first time vdv didn't have a ludicrous number of shots, yes he got 10 points still but a corner and a handball isn't the most appetising. he was much more tempting playing up front with crouch.
      we'll have to see where 'arry plays him in the next few games and once defoe returns

  The thing for me is that i think VDV seems to want to cut in and shoot more. Seems more selfish, which works for me in ff terms.
  
  I have VDV at the moment, so will keep the faith - if his output stays less than Bales for the enxt few weeks i may reconsider though.

  I'm with you apple. Seeing how Spurs played with two strikers (which they will surely do more often with Defoe's return), it made me yearn for Bale back in my team. Two strikers means it's harder for Bale to be doublemarked.

    it's hard to argue against vdv right now but i don't think he will be so essential if he's on the right. and like you say 2 strikers would make bale more tempting too, more to hit with his crosses and less of vdv dominating attacking play. i know it's only one game but i'm not sure a corner and a handball assist is proof van der vaart will continue producing the goods at right mid. obviously 1 game isn't enough to disprove it either.

    Despite Bale's points were over 2 for the first time in 5 games, his performance was deserving of much more. Several times Pav and Crouch missed wide open headers, and touch in provided by the Welsh.
    
    HR has acknowledged his speed/confidence and crossing ability by moving him to LM. With him out there spurs attack becomes more balanced and harder to check. (tall forward only good for headers, short quick defoe, vdv on right who loves to shoot back post but has great passing, little luca's great ball handling and midfield control)
    
    spurs have multiple options in the back, and given Bale's attacking powers, I doubt Redknapp will change something that worked so well.

    I see it as a small differential. Terry 26%, Alex 7&, Ivanovic 6%, Bosingwa 3%, Zhirokv 2%, that is 38% of the players. I guess Ivanovic owners will transfer him out. Late Cashley owners also. We, the proud Cashley owners since the beginning, will be the only one profiting from potential CS's.

I actually like the emphasis on youth, because come on, they are taking every match goers pound and sticking it in their pockets rather than putting it back into the club.

    I totally agree that the reason for our success is the hard work of sir alex and many others within the club. I guess my point is that nothing has changed since their arrival that is worthy of such hatred they have basically let sir alex continue his work and helped out financially whenever it has been needed theyve done nothing wrong. The debt has always been manageable and the club has never been in any real financial danger. Which bank doesnt want part of man utd?! Its in the banksbest interests to keep man utd happy not the other way round because man utd does and forever will continue to make money for them. If anything it provides the banks/lenders security that the debt is owed to them by MAN UTD. They know they'll get the money back eventually.

      That's all very nice for the banks, but weren't things going quite well for Utd before the Glaziers?
      
      Selling Ronaldo for £80m just to service the debt (as Utd's own financial records showed) is probably a sign that the debt wasn't manageable, and without the sale there would have been financial danger. Especially in the context of the financial world at that time.
      
      I don't know much about this, but it seems a step in the right direction. How many years have the Glaziers been there before this happened?

        The reason i was saying that stuff about the banks was because i feel that alot of the hatred is because people wrongly believe that at any random time the lenders could jusy call in the debt and man utd would cease to exist this is about 99.9% never going to happen. Ronaldo was going to go no matter what, the fact that most of the money was used to clear some debt is common practice at nearly every football club in the world. If sir alex really wants to buy someone he will be given the money as they have proven time and time again.

        haha yeah rvp has gotta prove his fitness agreed.
        
        chamakh is only reliable at heading so he'll be straight back in, rvp loves corners n set pieces too.

        I know he's got a reputation for Alex-style power free kicks. Whether that rep is deserved (like Mihailovic) or not (Roberto Carlos), I don't know.

O'Shea is now down to 5.3.

Is this a must sell at this point? I hate losing the money on the sale, but it just doesn't feel like there are regular starts in him at this stage.

O'Shea to Kolarov this week then? Or should I hang on since Wigan at home is a good shout for a cleany if O'Shea does manage to start.

Rafael is likely out, so...

  exactly buddy... i m thinking the same, not actually thinking but going to do O'SHEA> KOLAROV.
  
  but, ur point to wait till wigan game is good... though, u have to sell him after wigan game because he is only utillity player for man utd.

    i think o'shea will start against wigan....
    
    so, keep him for another week and sell him after.
    but, if his price drops... then that is exactly i dont want...!!

      Yeah and City are away to Fulham, so not bad but not a dead-cert sure cleany.
      
      Would also be keen to make sure Mancini is going to keep Kolorov as a nailed on LB as well so one more week to see how he gets on can't hurt.
      
      I have Mummy and O'Shea right now so feels like I need a little more certainty from one of those guys.
      
      Plan will be to hold the course for this week on both and hope for the best.

        Big moment for Brent for sure.

    Yeah, but wanted to get rid of Elmo before the drop. I have a solid enough defense this week that I could play Drogba and Odemwingie if needed with my 5 midfielders and 3 defenders.

        Agreed. It would be awful to have him out for this gameweek, especially given the fact that they are playing the Hammers.

        Your smart for waiting, I just get too impulsive and have to transfer. Its a bad habit I need to break.

(Looking at possibilities to replace Terry)...

So is Ashley Cole actually injured or one of those precautionary "injuries" to not play for the national team in a midweek game? Would need to do two trades and downgrade in MD to get him...

How about thoughts on Ivanovic as an investment instead? All I can find as a drawback is the possibility of a 5th yellow... Am I missing something?
