Injury Update.

[evilwebby]

Just as an aside - I guess injuries are one of the better points about bringing in loan players as opposed to permanent signings, depending on how we structure the terms of the loan, of course. If a permanent signing gets injured, we lose the player, while still incurring the transfer fee AND the ongoing wages.

What's your favourite thing about Alcaraz?

He came with a free Physio table.

Great work if you can get it though!

30k a week minimum and you only need to be fit enough to be in the squad for half the season!

half the season? at this point it will be a miracle if he's fit for 1/4-1/3 of the season!

Martinez said in an interview that they are aiming to get Lukaku fit in time for the West Ham game on March 1st.

Alcaraz absolutely picked the wrong profession to be in. I dont understand how a person can be so destroyed after one to two matches that they miss weeks after.

anybody know what kinda wages he's on? I'd hate for it to be substantial seeing as how often he is out injured.

What's your favourite thing about Alcaraz?

His starring role in the Sean Connery movie "The Rock".

Only kidding. I actually have the feeling that he will prove to be a reasonable defender in time but just needs to get fully match fit and have a bit of a run in the side to build up an understanding with Jags and/or Distin.

Lukaku won't be back in two weeks. The prognosis was 4-6 weeks and that was 6 days ago.

As long as he's back by the Arsenal match i'm not bothered.

Roberto obviously owed Alcarath a favour hence why he signed him never going to be a regular another waste of kit to go with Velios, don't get me talking about that kid.

Been wondering about this myself...

Roberto tends to be a bit coy about injuries, so it's always possible that the injured players could be coming back earlier than expected. Of course it's also possible that we have 6 other players out on Sunday as well.

I'm not convinced about Alcaraz tbh, I wonder if Lescott becomes available, it might be worth trying to sign him and move Alcaraz on in the summer.

Not going to happen - he's not interested and neither are we, been there done that.

Lescott's happier warming a bench so he can collect medals than he would be playing regularly elsewhere. And a bench is where he should remain.

......I've a feeling we might have a few available for the Cup game. We could do with a couple back for Palace, they looked really well organised at Arsenal and will be a tough nut to crack.

Any chance of us seeing Seamus and Geri back?
