Reports advising that Ings has a "clean" tear of acl so could be back sooner. Anyone know about Gomez's injury and have an update?

19 Oct 2015 15:10:37
Still no return date. It's probably best just leaving him out for the season and letting him get back to full fitness and not rush anything.

19 Oct 2015 15:23:43
Gomez is out for the season. We'll know more of Ings after surgery but best case scenario sees him back mid March.

19 Oct 2015 19:06:47
Ings surgery is Tuesday so fingers crossed for him along with Gomez. You are totally right don't rush them back Bob.

19 Oct 2015 21:49:47
Im curios? What will they do during said surgery?

19 Oct 2015 22:10:06
I really hope Ings makes a swift recovery. Admittedly, I wasn't overly keen on him joining but he has played very well, scored a few goals and is clearly very hungry to succeed here.

120% from the lad every game he's played. He may not be blessed with the technique of Messi or the speed of Ronaldo, but god damn he tries harder than anyone I've seen in a long time.

Very happy to eat my own words on Ings being a dubious signing.

19 Oct 2015 22:33:16
With the fact that Ings gained an international cap while playing for us, that was going to increase his price. The fact that he is out injured for the season, does that lessen the price we pay by any chance? Just a thought.

Frisky, they will open up his knee, micro-stitch together ACL, anything else that needs to be done will be done and they will stitch everything back up. Job done.

The injury won't affect the tribunal price I don't think, it's nothing to do with burnley.

19 Oct 2015 13:34:48
So this apparent marchisio bid all the main outlets are reporting, was it made over the summer or last week?

19 Oct 2015 20:44:19
Probably LFC whoring out Gerrard for the last time?

Hello EDS,

I saw the bleacher article talking about players out on loan and guys like Lazar and wisdom who could be of use andor interest to Klopp. What type of contractual issues do our loaners present IF we recalled in Jan? Do you realistically see any of them coming back based on need Or will the finances dictate.

Grazie.

{Ed001's Note - we would have to agree a deal to end the loans with the club that have loaned them. It would really depend on if Klopp thinks they are what he needs and if they are getting games for their team. For some reason Alex Neil is not using Wisdom, even though the alternative is the worst right back in British football, Steven Whittaker, who is absolutely hopeless. So it would probably be a bit easier to sort a deal out with them.}

Do you see a way back now for wisdom though ed?
Clyne is doing quite well although you don't seem like a massive fan of his.

{Ed001's Note - I disagree Clyne is doing well, he goes wandering off for no reason. Wisdom is much better defensively.}

19 Oct 2015 13:56:28
Thanks eds. Any thought son what klopp might do with lazar? I know you said many thought he was a year or so away from being ready to come to this league. With our lack of wingers and his natural speed I can't fathom that he won't fit into klopp plans at some point. Just wondering if so then when?

{Ed001's Note - I expect him to complete his loan season and then be given a chance next summer in preseason.}

19 Oct 2015 14:36:03
How long does he have left on his contract? Did he sign for four years?

{Ed001's Note - 2019 it runs to.}

19 Oct 2015 15:51:18
Ed you can't be serious. I don't know of one characteristic that I ever saw of wisdoms being better than Clyne has showed this far. I realize wisdom is younger but clyne has been one of our best players all season.

{Ed001's Note - I am sorry but I just disagree, he wanders off leaving the right side wide open constantly, when there is a whole plethora of extra players covering the centre, but no one on the right at all. He has offered almost nothing going forward and is not particularly strong defensively. Wisdom is very strong defensively and is taller and much much better in the air.}

19 Oct 2015 17:02:53
I haven't seen much of Wisdom but every time I have he made me nervous when he got the ball. Always seemed like more of a center back than a right back.

{Ed001's Note - he reminds me of Sakho, he is a lot better on the ball than people give him credit for.}

19 Oct 2015 19:24:08
Ed001 i went to the norwich vs west brom carling cup match and i was sat behind the goal to the right, i noticed that he was arguing throughout the first half with the cb i don't know what it was about really as i couldn't see wisdom had done anything wrong and i thought he played well . do you think there might be a problem with him and some of the norwich players and that's why he hasn't been picked ? Do you know what hos attitude is like ?

{Ed001's Note - his attitude was good, but the way he has been treated recently it wouldn't be a surprise if he is a bit bitter.}

Clyne is a very very good player. He does however have a fatal flaw - he 'forgets' at times his primary function, the defence of the rear right side of the pitch and let's activity elsewhere on the pitch attract him and drag him out of position without ensuring someone else is covering his role. Nothing a decent defensive coach won't be able to drill out of him, but really it should be instinctive.
