Yeah that's right, I'm a professional footballer and don't want to play in front of thousands of fans. Yeah right! One thing I'm convinced of, though, whatever the club say about injuries it's not going to be good enough for some people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this club there is anyway. I've noticed that there is a correlation between first team players and prolonged injury absences. At this club there is anyway.

He did say I don’t know what is up with our players but the seem to be forever injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airborne_rat_of_s6 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I blame JJ for this-flashes of greatness, months out with injuries and a miraculous recovery just before contract renewal time. Send them all on a trip to Lourdes and up their win bonuses - see how many make it back in no time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 From a purely financial perspective I would expect most players to want to play. Maybe not the ones who know this is their last contract but the rest surely don't want to get a reputation as being injury prone. Few clubs want to buy players who are always injured and those that do will not pay top wages. Add that to appearance fees, goal and win bonuses and any other such clauses and they would be daft to fake injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s face it, if you were on £20-?k a week would you rather be watching judge Rinder or in a side fighting relegation? I will bet we won’t see FF, Lee, Bannan, Hooper or Abdi this season. Issue is with the contracts-should all be put on £100 a week statutory sick pay after so many weeks out. Watch the buggers come back then! This is getting right on my boobies now. Why do soooo many fans think our players aren't injured. Do they honestly believe the club would allow them to pretend whilst still paying their wages and watching the club slide down the table. Also we have heard that players have been close to coming back but suffered setbacks in training. Finally to counter your proposal, Carlos was roundly slaughtered for bringing players back too soon thus exaggerating their injuries.
