More than fans I think it's the pundits and media.
Guys who've been in the game, most at the top level, consistently get overexcited by a few months of good football. You'd think of all people they'd know to at least give it a season before...
He's responsible ultimately but we've almost done our best as a club to create his problems.
I remember watching him in the academy/U18's, thinking he looked decent and two mins later he's on 65k a week for no reason at all. Hasn't proved...
The service to him is so poor its almost impossible to judge.
But he s fast, strong, mobile. Why don't we let him use those assets rather than play him like Niall Quinn?
Let him pull wide, rampage around a bit.
Nobody is arguing going into next season with just Hojlund again.
It's more a question of how best to go about creating another option given we need about 200 new players.
It's not just you, nobody can recall a medical being failed because it predicted future hamstring issues. Because it doesn't happen.
If a medical could, clubs wouldn't keep signing players with chronic muscle injury problems e.g. Mason Mount.
I'm amazed managers of the past managed to put out anything more than a Sunday League team given technical directors, directors of football etc. didn't even exist then. Never mind huge numbers of backroom staff and any game in the world available...
Well end of Feb onwards is quite a big chunk of the season.
And when those performances essentially carriy on for the entirety of the following season I don't think we should keep dismissing it by saying all of last season was very good. A good...
So you can't remember a single player failing a medical for a hamstring issue but you're absolutely sure the science is there to predict if a hamstring is sound or not.
Could it be that actually a medical can't make such predictions and instead...
Neither to do with a potentially dodgy hamstring.
The latter was to do with heart problems which is exactly what I'd expect a medical to cover.
That a Google search can only produce two examples, one from a decade ago, should show that a...
Can you remember a player ever failing a medical because their hamstring might be prone to injury.
In fact can you ever remember a player failing a medical at all?
