Lad spoke to him in Meadowhall last week. Said he'd been running & training on his own for a couple of weeks & was hoping to start ball work & training with the rest of the squad in another 2 weeks.

He speaks to randoms? 

 

Only joking. Hope he does come back.

Every team has their injuries.

 

but our injuries, and freezing individuals out, make our squad look like night and day.

 

Horrific shame that Lee’s injury problems started the season after his best one for us. Was transforming his game and adding more and more goals 

 

Would love to see him back. But there’s little point rushing him when we’ve been without him so long. THIS time it has to be done properly.

[torryowl]

why on earth would anyone want to offer new contracts to two 31 year olds who have had 2 years of chronic injury problems …..

Tiny Tim is closer to a first team return.

No room for sentiment I would let hom go when contract ends.

 

Didn't realise we had Ken Hom as club chef, ffs. Was he brought in to sort out the full English fiasco ? 

[TomtheOwl95]

Without doubt one of the best players we've had in many a year. Quiet, understated, missed hugely since he was last involved. Look how good he was at 75% fit for that spell last season. The thought that we might ( I stress that word) not see him play for us again makes me genuinely sad. Hopefully it will remain just a thought.

The lads our engine in mid field hope he gets back to full fitness asap it will be like a new signing

 

 

It would cost us millions to replace him . Those sorts of players dont come cheap 

[Eastleigh Owl]

Be great to have him back, for both our benefits. Lad must be so frustrated. Just had a little one as well recently methinks. Get back soon Keiran, we need each other.

Yep, seen posters say they'd keep him as well. Was a class act for us but man we need to be ruthless from now on.

It’s not even being ruthless mate . Lee was my favourite player, but like hooper and abdi , he’s pointless will obviously be released 

[twolaptops]

The engine room has been missing...................he is the current day Sheridan..............here's hoping for a return 

[Rhubarb n Custard]

Even at his age he would still give the team an extra dimension, I'd love to see him pull on the Blue & White for a swansong season or two.

I wonder if playing RB would be a bit easier on his body. Thats where he used to play. Might extend his career.

I chatted with him for a little while and I said I wished him all the best because it had been so serious for him. He brushed it off and said, 'Don't worry I'm due back to play in 3 to 4 weeks!'

 

Great news if it works out. It will be like signing a multi-million pounds player.

Thaks to Jos not playing him through injury.

I would...class act and unique IMO

Obviously fitness would be the basis of the contract, minimising risk

if he came returned I'd be so happy. 

 

Still the best player in the squad. 

 

Cmon Keiran! 

 

 

If he isn't going to get back fit we have got to find that box to box midfield who pops up around the penalty spot. Who that player is Im not sure we can afford... Bradley Dack.

The modern day full back? The same one who has to attack as well as defend? Who instead of tracking relatively larger, slower centre mids, must track quick, agile and nimble wide midfielders? Twisting, turning, sprinting with a history of injury to his hip? At 31?

 

The only career of KL that would extend, would be the one he plans to take up after retiring as a professional footballer.

 

Sarcasm aside, the only roll I could see him fulfilling would be as an attacking midfielder in behind a striker(s) . He's got the footballing smarts, the feet and speed of thought and knows when to get in the box and can finish.
