Has there been a historic precedent of a quad surgery returning to full fitness and peak performance in 3 months?

As I understand it yes.

Just as an ACL injury can be cured in 2 weeks (ie very minor) whilst others (more serious) can take 9 months or more. Injuries are individual and can be 'cured' in a wide range of time depending upon the precise nature of injury, individual injured (some people seem to heal more quickly than others) ...... and some people recover form more quickly than others.

That's why medics are reticent for many injuries to give return dates as until heaking process is well underway return time is very uncertain - and as we saw with Kudus, the healing might come to an end as it wasn't as straight forward an injury as first thought so went from 'back next week' just before Roberto joined to 'back sometime' a few months later.

Lee Kang-In is a good shout .Would not fancy him if he was a keeper though.

Kang-In would be a great addition. I do remember reading last year or so that he snubbed us when we enquired last summer. Because he does not want to be just seen as Son 2.0.

Kang is also the player that Son had a fight with during a international break a year or so ago. But they have since at least publicly made up.

There you go courtesy of Gemini, you can stop worrying now - you don't have to be in here anymore

That’s not a bad prediction tbh

I suspect a lot of people in here would take that window

IMO that’s nowhere near enough
 
Shadydan said:
It's not, it's based on public information which is already out there, that's exactly where the injury analysis comes from

Yes, basically ALL the public information, including published studies, results/stats published by hospitals/surgeries, all sorts

Like I say, basically the ultimate google search/curation

And, like I said, as a proxy/guide to an expected recovery - pretty sure its absolutely fine - seems an odd point to argue on tbh

Can you share the precedent that’s led you to understand that?

It is possible and they should make the money available

Almost no club turns over nine players in a window. To do so at the top end of the PL (which is where we’re aiming) will cost £400m Most clubs that do it are promoted clubs that spend less than half that — Sunderland spent about £170m — and might get lucky on a couple of signings or else they are Burnley.

He’s not a £60m player 🤦‍♀️

Certainly not after a 42 mins per appearance average season (38 Apps) with only 1 goal and 2 assists outside of domestic cups and a couple of injuries (missed the most amount of games in his career last season).

Let's hope the number crunchers have fixed whatever fucking computers came up with fucking Tel and Muani for the list anyway.

This reeks of him being younger than 25 and a reasonably sized name / a 'bargain' according to the stats etc.

I can see the talent and all, but I'm unsure he's got the right mentality. Seems a bit soft tbh.

I'm unsure about him and Simons in the same team.

Something like this:

OUT
Vicario
Romero
Dragusin
Vuskovic (Loan)
Sousa (Loan)
Bissouma
Palinha
Bentancur/Sarr
Muani
Solomon
Richarlison
Moore (Loan)


IN
Back Up experienced keeper
Robertson
Senesi
Van Hecke
Scott/Baleba
Locatelli/Camara/Wharton
MGW
Akliouche
Savinho
Osimhen

I’ve been chewing it over and despite the heroics of the relegation battle, our midfield was a major reason for being in a relegation battle and the seniors need a complete shake up. I’m only keeping one of Sarr or Bentancur depending on who we get the best offer for.

It would probably mean the Lewis cartel selling some of their investments which are unrelated to the club, to raise extra revenue. I don't think they have incredible amounts of money like some other Premier League club owners do. It's mainly tied up in assets owned by Tavistock Group, and I don't know if they want to divert any capital from there.

There's probably also a portion of the transfer debt that will be due.
 
So assuming Kulu, Kudus, Simons, Odobert basically do not contribute next season (or do not reach peak fitness) we currently look like:

CF: Solanke, Richy, Lankshear
LW: Tel, Moore
RW: -
CAM: Maddison, Gallagher

There's a lot of work to do.

In: Savinho (50m), Akliouche (60m), Wilson (Free). Parrott (17m)
Total: 127m

CF: Solanke, Parrott, Lankshear
LW: Savinho, Tel, (Moore)
RW: Akliouche, Wilson, (Moore)
CAM: Maddison, Gallagher, (Moore)

This is something I could see the club rolling with.
Now a serious club would drop another 80m on a new starting CF but we know that's not happening.

Tavistock is worth around £9b. Just listened to View From The Lane and they said that the family are selling some of their artwork right now, worth about £150m. Don’t know if they need the money, or are just bored looking at it.

Also said that we were concentrating on left wing and central midfield signings at present.
