Thorne always looks good  :cool:

 

Like catinthehat said, handsome guy.

Are you experimenting already at Uni, Tombo? If you want to come out on the Forum we will all be very supportive. I have just put rainbow laces in my brogues.

This is amazing - I watched for 25 minutes and he never missed one kick.

 

Any suggestions for music when he scores his first goal ?

 

How about  Eurythmics - Thorn in My Side

 

This would've fit even better...

 

 

...if only he hadn't sold our souls to iPro.

DERBY County midfielder George Thorne continues to make good progress as he recovers from his knee injury.

 

Thorne suffered cruciate ligament damage playing in a pre-season friendly against Zenit St Petersburg in Austria in July.

 

Such an injury usually sidelines a player for a period of six to nine months.

 

Thorne has tweeted: "Good review with the specialist today! Injury progressing according to plan."

 

 

Briliant news, cant wait for the day he returns as a sub to a massive reception!!

I watched some of the Rams v Brighton  second leg today. George Thorne wants the ball all the time, is in space nearly all the time and hardly ever wastes it.. he obviously feels that he can pretty much be part of every move that we make. Why do other players not adopt the same philosophy. If you watch Germany play they seem to have players free all over the place. Thorne and Hughes in his present mode will destroy teams in this division. I cannot see any way around rotating Bryson and Hendrick within most matches. When Thorne gets back, just play him till we have the match won and take him off. Apparently most ACL injuries are not caused by tackles but by the way that people put their foot down when turning. Thorne needs to be taught which type of movements put him at risk. he should be relieved of duties of trying to tackle people in 50-50 situations. We need to get him to slow players down while others get back. Sound stupid? I saw some figures on John Terry, he only makes about three tackles a game. He escorts players away from goal. Lampard says Terry is so good because he blocks so many balls. Thorne is a gem who must be advised and protected at all costs.up to  the end of the season. if we do not need Thorne to win matches this season then do not play him for more than 30 minutes per match. If we are playing against known hard tacklers then do not play him in those matches this season. Thorne needs his confidence in his knee restored as well a s his knee restored. no-one wants to se him play more than me but we must protect his career..

So make our biggest signing in years but don't play him when the opposition has a physical player who is likely to tackle hard? Have you not noticed we're in the Championship? We face players like that every week

So when we face a physical team... Lets take out our man who can be just as physical back? So when we play Leeds and they play that Austin who goes in for every tackle to take ball and player... Should we play Mascarell just so George dont get touched? Dont be daft, rabbit in headlights springs to mind.
