TheEnchanter Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Luongo was hardly injured for years before he signed for us. This is why we have about 6 centre mids this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnishOwl Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Luongo's days at Hillsborough are probably numbered, I don't see him getting a new contract after this season if he even recovers properly. It's a shame because there's a real player there in his prime years and he's not the type of player who is just happy to collect a wage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can guarantee it now he will leave and go to another side and play 45 games and be played of the year. the Wednesday way 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half of this season is cooked for him, he'll probably end up back out here I reckon. Ah well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Bad news. As someone mentioned after the Rotherham game, even though he played great it was strange we didn't look to bring him off midway through the second half seeing as it was his first game in ages.

The article said did say "may" require surgery, so nah. But if it's off the bone then either way he's in for a lay off and thats uncool. Out here in the Aussie Rules, usually someone does a hammy and it's 2 -3 weeks or 3-4 if it's a bad one. A handful have opted for surgery, either after a greater injury or repeated injuries.

striker Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Gutted for him and us. That said, that's him probably done with us, hardly kicked a ball in two years and out of contract soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Just read the article about it. Sounds like he might have been on the move were it not for the injury. I wonder if that’s why he was left on for the 90 mins because it was linked to a move (to prove his fitness or something)? Gutted for him as he seems like a top bloke. Gutted for us as when I saw him back I couldn’t believe our luck that we had a proper Championship midfielder in L1 and though it seriously helped or promotion chances. Him being out isn’t as devastating as last season (his cover isn’t Pelupessy for starters) but it is a big blow. Wish him all the luck in the world for his recovery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnsleyowl1996 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Sounds like it’s a long term one then , gutted for him and us . May not see the lad again in a wed shirt . cover maybe needed in this area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope we don't make the same mistake with Dunkley get rid and get in someone who can play 40+ games a season not break down after half a dozen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we need is at least 2 for centre backs so we don't have to play a full back there anymore. This mistake was made too often under Monk. No more.

And it’s a totally different injury to what he’s had here previously. Anyway. I’m gutted for Massimo. He’s a great bloke, terrific defensive mid & he’s just been hideously unlucky. We could have really done with him this season, as the Rotherham game highlighted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Gutted for the boy. Working so hard to get back fit and then for this to happen from such an innocuous incident is a real blow for him. A shame for the team too as that was a terrific display from him, one in which he seemed to be growing into it more and more as the game went on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we will have six of them and we only play two. Don't see that happening. Palmer has proved he can cover ok and there is also Brennan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Gutted for him and us. Unfortunately when his contract is up we have to release him. Such a big drain on the wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signed whilst Lee Bullen was caretaker manager, and he had a good injury record before joining us, but other than that a very accurate comment... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
