If he goes and leaves i hope he goes on to have a wonderful career and wins medals at his new club.

Happy to see a son of the city do well.

Nah, no way.

Did you wish Gerrard well when he won medals 'for the city'? No chance.

I hope he has an absolutely horrific career at whatever club he goes to.

 

[Tel001]

Yes crocked!

Yeah I just remember really wanting us to sign him....

I'm praying he goes to westham

Guess we will see but my opinion is it's all about the money , he won't sign for us, he will run his contract down and we won't see him play for us again ...

If he's fit he will play if the manager wants him to. Could be a deal has already been agreed and Everton don't want him to play as part of that deal though, incase he gets injured and the sale gets cancelled.

You ever had a lad come through your system mate and left for money or trophies?. How about Trevor Francis, or worse a local lad like Bob Latchford (thanks by the way). How did you feel?. Angry?. Proud that a local lad done good? How were the players welcomed back to St Andrews?

Trevor and Bob left with our good wishes and not because we had hated on them until they felt like they want to leave you big daft dog! Thanks for Howard Kendall mush I bet you hounded him out too!

 

[Toffeelover]

Is he in full training yet?????

 

[Efcjake]

He'll be wearing red at the Derby he hates us that much now. RAT

No social media back then though. Think it would be a lot different now !

So you think a pro would feign injury ,not play, even train for the best part of a year and the club would be ok with it? World cup year, and the fact he is a footballer but happy to sit and watch for 10 months? No chance mate.

It's not ten months mate... it's 5 ... he will not have the balls to play for us again... time will tell but I don't think he will sign for anyone . He won't make the World Cup anyway and an extra 10-15m for 5 months of waiting is insane money..

He's injured.

He had an operation on his hamstring injury, which is why the recovery is longer.

I've had a hamstring injury when I was about 18, it kept me out for six months. My dad tore his hamstring and hasn't been able to run since. It's one of the worst injuries you can get.

Factor in he had no extensive pre-season training then the most he can probably do even now is a bit of light training and low impact stuff (i.e. like he was cycling 6 weeks ago).

He may well leave in January, but he's definitely not fit.

Did he snap his hamstring getting out of bed or something? He hasn't trained or played any football since last season, where's this injury come from?

If you believe some of the stuff on here mate, it was a result of torture at the hands of gangsters, following him getting caught with the wrong lady.

Or, it was a result of being a finely tuned young athlete, playing footy.

I understand he's in training now, isn't he...?

Haven't seen any clips or pictures of him training at all.

Me neither like mate, but there have been reports of it - didn't Unsy say he's only a couple of weeks away at one stage? We also saw him on a cycle machine a few weeks back as I recall...

Oh aye yeah, that was all about 6 weeks ago. Still he hasn't trained with the squad or played in a reserve game for match fitness. "He's injured" just doesn't cut it at the moment, there's more to this.
