Igor Thiago (9 Viewers)

"Recovery time also depends on the severity of the injury. A mild injury may recover within a few weeks, whereas a severe injury may take 6 weeks or longer to recover"

About 6-8 weeks until our first pre season game and 3 months until our opening game, should be fine then hopefully.

Let's have he doesn't sprain his ankle getting up off the sun lounger on the beach.

No danger. Vitaly & Kevin will already have the sun loungers…

(can I still say that?!)

I thought it was funny, but then I am of a certain age.

It's a bit like saying Collins will be on the Guinness this summer. Not particularly true, offensive or funny ?

Nein!

 

[grepo]

Hopefully, it's not a severe grade 111 MCL injury and there's no associated injury to ACL, PCL or meniscus. If not, he should be OK for the pre-season. Fingers crossed.

 

[larrysigny]

Nein!

Correct - he IS a number nein.

Just don't mention the war. I almost mentioned it once but i think i got away with it.

I thought his number was neinty-nein?

My wife and kids are German. We have no end of banter at home on the Brit / German theme

All that medical knowledge and you cant cross your index and middle phalanges ???

 

[Gee Bee]

What if the insurance cost £100m?

It won’t

 

[kevalutonbee]

Doesn't tell us much (except that it's not the year-long ACL)

Depends on the grade of the injury from here. Fingers crossed he can get a standard preseason in.

Think I would a Brentford pre season to a standard preseason

 

[busheybee]

Is that one of Rochdale's 16 options? If not, they missed a trick.

 

[Mr Tree]

Boooo, get off!

 

[Beenut]

Same!

 

[Leedsbee]

Wonder what part we're allowed to have in his rehab, would make sense if he could come over early and do it with us.

 

[W5BeesFan]

Expect he'll recover and make his debut in pre-season against (check diary)...Boreham Wood.

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Does anyone else get fed up with all the negativity on GPG sometimes? These really are fantastic times that I never thought I would ever see in my lifetime. Just enjoy them. COYB.

Hi namesake. I just get jealous of the wealth of knowledge of gpgers on matters such as medical conditions, player contracts and insurance for footballers. I feel most inadequate, I don’t mind telling you.

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Personally, I didn’t expect Igor to be thrown straight into battle anyway. I think our current pacey, dynamic mini squad of forwards/attacking midfielders are in possession of the jersey. Igor may well join this “squad”, but perhaps as a bit part player until he earns the right to be the new messiah.

I see no urgent need to centre our whole strategy around another big man up front (acknowledging that Ivan has been more than just that, of course), although it will be great to have this option in our arsenal.

In summary, I’m trying to say it’s not a big panic if he’s not 100% fit for the start of the season.

Disclaimer: I am not, never have been, never will be, ITK. This is all personal opinion. Please do your own research. ?

 

[NorthamptonBee]

I think his pressing madness, pace and strength will be unleashed as soon as possible tbh, fingers crossed we can get him playing some of the friendlies.

 

[PGH_Bee]

Curious if he arrives early for medical work. Presumably, he's not going to play for Brugge again... not saying they would give him less than stellar care in recovery, but it would change when he comes to Brentford. May make more sense for him to arrive early for treatment to keep the recovery with the same group of doctors and begin familiarizing himself with the team/area.

 

[ChertseyBee]

…and begin familiarizing himself with the medical room!

I’d guess we need him as soon as possible based on recovery, for fitness and conditioning. I doubt the Belgian League is as demanding as the Premier League and our own standards.

Absolutely - get him fit, he cost us a massive amount of money. Why on earth would we be bleeding him in slowly, bit part player? Madness. He's the starting ST/CF for season opener surely.

I would be shocked if he starts over Wissa first game of next season.

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Agreed. We’ve probably played our best football this season on the occasions when Ivan has not played but most other forwards have been available (especially Bryan). Just because we’ve paid big money for this guy does not mean he’s shoehorned straight in. He has to learn our ways, get up to speed, and fight his way in. In the meantime, with everyone fit up front, our attacking capability is the least of our worries.

 

[Bigbee]

doesnt deserve to , Wissa has won the shirt , he has a great understanding with Byran , hopefully with Kev and KLP soon too , formidable front three

 

[GABS]

I would be more shocked if a 30m player was bought to sit on the bench.

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

I’m sure he definitely hasn’t.

 

[Frothybaby]

Maybe Wissa was a bargain and really worth more than £30m.

 

[Beelated]

This episode with Thiago is turning into one of the most Brentford things ever. Our record signing gets injured after colliding with his team mate Nusa who happens to be the guy we turned down at the 11th hour before the surprise signing of Thiago. I guess this is why we love our club...

Sorry, had to add this (an entry in the comments of Jay Harris’ article)

 

[SQUELCH]

Patiently waiting for intel on the actual state of his knee injury....

FFS, how bad it it?

 

[Gee Bee]

I would be more shocked if a 30m player was bought to sit on the bench.

So if Toney wasn’t sold what would happen then? He only cost £10m but valued excess £50m. Isn’t it the value now rather than cost, otherwise FTT would play every week ?

 

[SlumanBee]

I would be shocked if he starts over Wissa first game of next season.

Who said he was starting over Wissa? I see Wissa LW Thiago ST and Mbemo RW to start the season.

Schade and KLP bench.

 

[Invipai]

Personally I do see Wissa (or Maupay) starting in the centre with Thiago coming off the bench. £32m or not he'll need time to integrate into the team and the country so not putting that pressure on him straight away is probably wise. Build him into the team gradually.

He didn't need time to integrate into the Belgian way of playing when joining Club Brugge from Ludogorets in Bulgaria. He was pretty much banging them in from the off. I get that the Premier League is a bigger step up but so is the Bulgarian League to the Belgian Pro League or the Championship to the Premier League and Ivan found it easy.

I think we need to give him a bit more credit. This guy is going to be a beast next season, hopefully from gameweek 1.

not sure about GW1 as he will probably not have much of a preseason

GW1?

 

[sonofabee]

He’s been a great buy and an excellent option who has repaid his fee back with important goals.

 

[ChesilB]

GW1?

First game. Game week 1

 

[hanworthbee]

Why not thought his injury was a few weeks

 

[Brentford77]

Why not thought his injury was a few weeks

I don't think it has been revealed yet. Just mention of medial ligament damage. Assuming (big if) there is no other damage such as acl and it is just medial, the range seems to be from 4 - 16 weeks depending upon severity. So worst case from what I can glean (no medical background) could be September for getting into full training...

Who says Wissa and Mbuemo will be here for the start of next season?

 

[brentford born & bred]

Who says Wissa and Mbuemo will be here for the start of next season?

With the clubs additional year option they are both contracted until 2027. So unless we received a ridiculous offer they will both be playing for us next season.

HUGE win for Club Brugge vs Anderlecht means they are on cusp of the title! ?

Final day derby vs Cercle Brugge, a point guarantee it (but they seem to have it sewn up anyway with a massively better GD?).
Fingers crossed Igor doesn’t injure himself in any celebrations!
