Igor Thiago

If he is out until next season...then we need to sign someone today. We can't go into the rest of the season without any backup.

Obviously hope it's not true.
Seriously sad news for him, if true and bad news for the club. Whether the club will bring in someone else to cover on loan or on a permanent move is anyone’s guess. It’ll make today a tad more interesting though.

I think that if that was going to happen, we'd at least have heard some rumours by now.
 

Igor Thiago

They are not going to sign anyone today. The fact that the club shut down any outward moment of our attackers this window shows they knew this was long term and had to have Kevin and Fabio still in the squad. Hoped we might have seen Thiago back for pre season but for it now to be Oct is massive and puts a lot of pressure on the summer transfers. Games like yesterday cried out for his contribution.
 

Igor Thiago

Wasn't Oct/Nov the original prognosis when injured his meniscus pre-season.
Yes. Made his league debut on 23 Nov 2024 - Everton (A).
Also crossed my mind that the ITKs had original 2024 timeline mixed up with 2025 runmour. We shall see.

Joint infections have ended careers before -- not to be underestimated.

of who, serious question, never heard of it in top flight football before, no surprise it happens to us though !

If we were in relegation trouble I would tend to agree. But we're not, so it doesn't really make sense to throw money at the problem.

That said, our attacking options look really sparse. We've basically gone from 7 at the start of the season to now 3, with 2 long term injuries, one who's frankly a bit bobbins at the moment and the other who's playing at left back.
 

Igor Thiago

Didn't something similar happen to Santi Cazorla?
Flesh eating disease I believe. Had to have a skin graft and ended up with part of a tattoo from somewhere else on his calf.
 

Igor Thiago

Out till November?! Surely not…
Do we not have some crossed wires here? The November being talked about was this season, based on his original pre-season injury.

Only 3 days ago Thomas Frank described him as "on track" (whatever that means, but surely not "on track to return in 9 months"!)
 

Igor Thiago

At what point do we have to consider auditing/upgrading our medical department / experts / consultants.
You can't legislate for many things but it does feel like we're having a ridiculously consistent run of set-backs and new "freak" injuries that are now becoming extremely regular.
Whatever the cost might be...it can't be anything compared to the effect of all these players continually being out.

I hope so ?

Perhaps we should arrange a "swap" with Spurs....??..........
Or Arsenal?
Or Man City??
Or one of the other half a dozen PL clubs that are also suffering with an horrendous spell of injuries.................

Just so I'm clear, you're saying that someone has told you that Thiago is out until October / November?

We won’t see him play again for us this season

Nor for the opening months of next season if the timescales being mentioned are correct! ☹️

This was the exchange last night. @The Librarian could probably clear this all up but doesn't seem in any hurry to do so.

I'd argue many of these haven't even had half the "bad luck" we've had (it just seems like it because they get 10x the coverage and whinging about it).
 

Igor Thiago

Very disappointing, especially since we really should have been up for it. The attitude of the players on the full-time parade showed they knew it wasn’t their finest hour, and Schade looked embarrassed, rightly so.

Bright point was the debut of Kayode, who looks excellent, sharp annd quick and ready to play.

We managed without Ivan last season and without Thiago this season, we aren't going to break the bank on another one.
 

Igor Thiago

Its basic maths. If you have 7 people out for a week and 1 person out for a year and a half. That's 7 weeks of player time lost to injury versus 78 weeks of player time lost.

Spurs have had 7-8 first players out for more then a week this season. I would take 1 player out for a few months then a constant 7-8 rotating like we did last season.
 

Igor Thiago

@The Librarian told us. Leaked by someone working for the club who hasn't yet been sacked. Haven't got a clue whether it is true or not.
Should be sacked if any of that is true.

Fair enough if people get confidential information. To then post that confidential info on a public forum is pretty poor / unacceptable in my opinion.

I wasn't referencing exact numbers. I was explaining the logic. We've not had 1 player out for a few months. Obviously.

Spurs have been down 7-8 potential starters for most of the season, we aren't the only ones that get injuries, lots of teams have suffered the last few years. Our challenge is our bench is never as strong as the bigger teams.

Am I in the right room for the Igor discussion ?
Same opinion as you. It's either mischief making or scaremongering or worse disclosure of confidential information of someone's medical condition on a public forum. That's more than serious misconduct.

I never said other teams don't get injuries. The question is whether we've been getting more, longer, and not getting them back as quickly as we might. There have been posts before on here suggesting our medical management in some cases may not have been all that. I think ignoring it and just saying "other teams get injuries" is just burying your head in the sand.

It was going on for years on here with certain ITK people. More leaks that the Western International Market. Then they had the block put on them and that was that.
 

Igor Thiago

Any indication of any kind of setback? Your injury tracker had him potentially nearing being available for the next game.
No indication of any kind of setback. I would ignore the tracker when dates get close. We don't get daily medical updates (or weekly ones) , or any at all in fact.
 

Igor Thiago

Not sure why anyone ever put any credibility in what @The Librarian was saying, but any credibility he might have had has taken a massive hit here surely

Well, I for one am not paying my book fines in protest!! :wave::sueme:
 

Igor Thiago

News from 10 seconds ago. Igor is not out until Oct/Nov. He is still expected back this season.
For the sake of avoiding any confusion, glad you put "Thiago", and not "IT".............
:LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
