TroyDyer Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I may have finally got to bottom of why his surgery took so long to recover from. He's actually a transgender man, and had a baby. Might explain the little bit of timber around the middle. It's a nightmare to get rid of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t Vydra “a total waste of money!” last season for some?! As Jimmy Greaves once said,” it’s a funny old game!”⚽️? My first season when they arrived. Some never had the football knowledge to understand the importance of jmc.

Bob Gnarly Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I am genuinely worried about Thorne's contract situation at the minute - Would just be our luck to let him go on a free for him then to establish himself in a squad and become pivotal to a team again. Whilst leaving a gaping hole in our team. Give the man a new deal, even if only for a year or two just to get back on his feet and playing football. Surely it is a win win situation.

Genuinely worried? Fantastic player but not something i would genuinely worry about. Only a game and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a game, but not ONLY a game, it's tribal and it's magnificent and it matters to people. Badminton is only a game. George isn't ONLY a player, he's a top player at our level who can get bums off seats, he's an icon in a small way, he's our George. Similar to Will Hughes. I'd be choked if he goes.

Sparkle Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 We can’t help the contract situation, what will be will be - if he signs a new deal on reduced terms then great and if he doesn’t then we either weigh up offers for him in January or we use him until the end of the season then he either leaves on a free or stays if he is fully fit and we can afford him as we may possibly be in the premiership and all the money that goes with that (I assume you can you have a contract that increases wages if promoted) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes has gone and we're doing pretty well. Don't think we'd be any better if he stayed. I love George and would love him to stay, but i'm sure we'd get on ok without him. Worrying about the possibility of him going is just crazy, as more than likely he won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazal77 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 It doesn’t matter if he’s injury prone he’s George bloody Thorne and the bloke is a fantastic footballer and if his injuries are behind him which they hopefully are after being managed so well then he better be wearing the black and white of derby county Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andicis Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I'd be tempted to start George, Ledley and Huddlestone against Man Utd so we can play it tight through the middle and try nick a 1-0 on the break, though we would lose out from not having Vydra in the side.

Paul McGrath was probably one of the most 'injury-prone' players of all time but his contribution to the clubs he played for was massive. Yes, had he been free of all serious injuries it could have been even greater but write off those players who sustain serious injury at your peril. Besides, treatment today is so much better than it was even 5 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For us in the prem he managed it twice. 97-98 1st November 3-0 win against Arsenal (my favourite game at Pride Park) was the first of 8 consecutive games. 98-99 he played the first 9 games of the season Couldn't tell you the promotion season and can't be arsed to check others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you . I often watch the Arsenal game on YouTube. Deano's finish, chipping it over Seaman is one of my favourite goals. Just because of the defence Arsenal had at the time and how we ripped through them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Johnathon Douglas decides to take Thorne off at the knee does that make him injury prone Bent has Four months out injuring himself taking a penalty suppose that makes him injury prone If going to judge a player by how much playing time he misses then definitely makes Hughes injury prone You would have thought Watford would have picked that up or at least their insurer's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
