Can't wait for the gruesome twosome of Neville and Osman tonight in the midfield... (n)

I'm going to still try and be positive anyway! We'll bring in three good players!

The question of Ba's success is interesting. Obviously the vast majority of players with knee problems never fully recover to their top form, it's a career killer injury if ever there is one. Ba seems to be bucking that trend. Over in America Adrian Peterson almost broke an NFL record this season, the season after getting his ACL reconstructed.

So it seems like they're getting better at this knee stuff now, and maybe we did miss out on an opportunity. However, it does stand to reason that if a certain fee was agreed before we knew about the knee, surely that fee should be lowered after we find out about it. Maybe we missed an opportunity here, but the people citing one instance of a player turning it around (Ba) need to get a grip as well.

Might be abit toxic tonight if we're getting bossed in the middle again.

Neville is starting at rightback tonight, If there's any of that being bossed in the middle stuff we can always put Jagielka at rightback and move him in midfield.

Simples :dodgy:

That money will probably now get swallowed up by "other operating costs"

Gutted that this hasn't happened, but it could be a great decision. We don't know.

Atmosphere will be crap tonight now

How do you know it's even the same issue that Ba had with his knee?

Even if its not, people have been saying that it was a risk to take since his kneecap would fall any minute. It doesn't have to be same problem, but the risk is there and we have to take if we want to get good players.
