When will Charnley demand an investigation into our coaching methods and the capabilities of all the medical staff?

How do you know the medical staff didn't inform Charnley of his previous injury record? How do you know the club didn't take a risk as they hoped he would get a good injury free run, show his quality and then make the club a profit when a more ambitious club bought him?

Do you seriously believe Charnley would take any risk with Ashley's money knowing he has had injury problems in the last 2 years. Just check out how many of our players have missed games in the EPL this season due to injuries. The answer is we are numero uno.

They take calculated risks with the club all the time. E.g. appointing Carver until the end of the season/letting Pardew go, paying that money for Cabella, signing Ba. Why should De Jong any different?

Signing Ben Arfa permanently while out with a broken leg too.

iirc correctly Happy Face pointed out that prior to the season before joining us, De Jongs injury record was actually pretty good. Hardly a massive risk therefore except with hindsight.

Aye, exactly.

Not saying it was a calculated risk (beyond the fact any transfer is), rather challenging the notion the club is always extremely diligent in how it proceeds with signings etc.

Thing is, how do you go about collapsing your lung? Surely that's the kind of injury that can only come about through some kind of gung ho (I'm looking at you Tiote) training ground challenge. It's not like we all walk around at risk of our lungs collapsing.

 

Which is just unfortunate from the club's point of view. Doesn't sound like it's anything to do with his original injury.

tbh my comment was aimed at B&W...

Injuries can include gunshot or knife wound to the chest, rib fracture, or certain medical procedures.

 

In some cases, a collapsed lung is caused by air blisters (blebs) that break open, sending air into the space around the lung.This can result from air pressure changes such as when scuba diving or traveling to a high altitude.

 

Tall, thin people and smokers are more likely to have a collapsed lung.

 

Lung diseases can also increase the chance of getting a collapsed lung. These include:

 

Asthma

COPD

Cystic fibrosis

Tuberculosis

Whooping cough

In some cases, a collapsed lung occurs without any cause. This is called a spontaneous pneumothroax or collapsed lung.

With the number of points we have, we are hardly likely to be relegated. Don't see what how letting Pardew go was a risk. Cabella has come good and signing Ba was hardly a major risk. He didn't let us or Chelsea down.

Up to 2012/13 he was OK. His injury problems began in 2013/14 when he only played 19 games, out for 50% of the season. That was what my original post was based on. The fact he had injury problems when we signed him. And for such a good player his transfer fee was half of Cabella. Maybe Ajax knew something?

Or maybe they didn't. And maybe he passed his medical with no hint of his current problems and we've just been unlucky?

Err, that's why it was a calculated risk. :lol:

Cabella has come good

And signing him was a calculated risk because we spent a fair bit of dosh on him and he might not have come good :lol:

and signing Ba was hardly a major risk. He didn't let us or Chelsea down.

But it was a calculated risk because of his injury record :lol: :lol: :lol:

Wouldn't that constitute a calculated risk on the part of NUFC?
