DeBilde'sTea Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Hes one of our best players when he's fit but he is never fit. Huge shame but at this stage has to be considered a luxury that he's available so should plan to not have him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 In four seasons at QPR, other than an international call-up, he only failed to make the squad for a league game 21 times, with the longest run being two matches. Sods' law we sign a player who played 75% of his team's league minutes over four consecutive seasons, and then he falls to pieces at Hillsborough. I really hope he manages to return to full fitness on a consistent basis, for his sake and ours. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sternlad Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 “Luongo, Luongo, Weaker than Umbongo.” Made of biscuits this lad…how many games has he actually completed for us, as in full 90 minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best part about Byers is he tells Bannan to get away from the defence. I know its early days and how good he is will come out over time but anything that gets bannan out of the back 4 is positive. Anything/anyone who forces Bannan upfield is great by me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannan staying deep has been a major problem for a long time. He can change a game by getting forward. Most fans have been saying it for ages but only since Byers forced him forward has it happened. If the only thing Byers does in a game is force Bannan forward he is worth the shirt. It's that critical. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swfc-dan Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Unforunately he's proved he can't be relied on fitness wise. Shame as he clearly made a difference on sat. At least we have enough options in there, but I would worry a bit if Bannan and/or Dennis got knocks. Do we need one more midfield enforcer option?

sMacLean Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 A real shame but expected, after a long spell away players pick up weird niggles too. Last year of contract so get what we can out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeps the game ticking over nicely. I still struggling to see what Wing brings to the party. I understand that but I just don’t personally think he’s strong enough. Some excellent options though. We all shuddered when Luongo was out last year. I’m quite calm this year that the squad can cope with injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando_Trustful Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Another one for the S6 injury curse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 The way he was talking in a recent interview suggested that he knows his legs knackered and it’s about managing it to play as many games as possible. Real shame as he’s a great player 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) A rubbish signing. The guy spends the majority of his time sat around the treatment room getting paid. He’s a crock. Edited August 28, 2021 by TrickyTrev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i used to be sc_owl Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Kinda ironic that his name is Luongo Injured and he’s, well, always injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miffed Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Maybe the club should contact the posters on here who have a crystal ball before we make any future signings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good player, when he can play. In his 4 years at QPR, Luongo only missed 4 games to play in the Asia Cup, and never missed more than two games in a row either through injury or not being selected. He played 75% of the minutes he could possibly have played for them over those 4 years, which doesn't suggest a player who missed much through injury. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwellOwl Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Real shame given his performance last week. Hope it isn’t too serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel. Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 You can see him get injured on the highlights of that last game. Looks really unlucky and a result of a full blooded block at 2-0 up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
