Canary Wundaboy 1,358 Posted September 18, 2020 I dearly hope that we're looking at potential RB replacements just in case someone comes sniffing around for Aarons. Can't rely on Byram being fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,638 Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) Hardly a surprise, sadly - but if Max stays we have Mumba in reserve so not too big an issue in itself. If anything it makes Mumba not a loan option until Jan. Edited September 18, 2020 by Branston Pickle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 6,680 Posted September 18, 2020 Let's just pray Max stays injury free. Somebody chain him to the ground too, no way we want him leaving. Shame, Byram seemed so solid whenever we played him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Essjayess 307 Posted September 18, 2020 Still whispers around that McCallum may be loaned out, but with Jamal gone and Byram out until at least January, seems to me that it could be unwise move, Xavi surely needs proper back up. I know about Rupp, but personally dont find it to great for "can do a job there" types to fill in a role, even though Byram was such a one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not their fault but Byram and Jarvis must have cost us a fortune. Matt Jarvis was a disaster. For some unknown reason Alex Neil signed him on a four year deal while he was still injured. Sam Byram on the other hand came at a huge discount to take account of his poor injury record. Relative to Jarvis he's a cheap gamble. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Relative to Jarvis he's a cheap gamble. He surely would have signed Jarvis on the basis of a physio report saying that he was fully recovered. No manager would sign a player with a physio report of "will play one game, and then be borderline crippled for the next 3 seasons". I have wondered in the past what the liability is for medicals, and whether anyone has ever taken legal action against a doctor / physio on the basis of a negligent / incompetent medical? Not that I'm in favour of excessive litigation. There's enough of that already in the world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted September 18, 2020 Every club has its sick notes from time to time. We have just had two in quick succession. That is why we have squads. I must admit Byram doesn't look the athletic build type. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,284 Posted September 18, 2020 Jarvis cost us 3.5 million Byram 750,000 big difference. Byram is still young enough to recover and become a good player for us. Jarvis was in his 30’s wasn’t he? Sad for Byram but with Klose and Hanley we do have a poor track record with long term injuries! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HazzaJet 252 Posted September 18, 2020 I’ve seen quite a lot posts over the past few months saying we stop signing injury prone players completely. I don’t completely agree with this. Byram is very injury prone but didn’t cost much, on high wages but has done well for us when on pitch Jarvis was quite expensive, probably wanted quite high wages, but barely made any appearances for us. Naismith is currently our record signing, would have wanted very high wages, was usually injured but when he did play was rubbish. Klose is very injury prone, cost us quite a lot, on high wages, but I think on pitch still quite good as in the cup game Luton still hadn’t registered a shot on target until he went off the pitch. I think in our promotion season he also managed to make about 1/3 of the games. He is also very friendly. Krul has had a very serious injury in his career but has only cost us his wages, although they are probably quite high but I think has only ever been injured once for us, a brief spell last autumn as he missed the games against Palace and Villa. He was ever-present in our promotion campaign. He is also very loyal because as soon as the talk about who we were going to lose this summer started he instantly said he was going nowhere as he feels he owes a “debt” to us because we rescued his career. Who would you say is the best keeper we’ve had before Krul? I might possibly say John Ruddy but I think in my lifetime it’s probably been Bryan Gunn. If you ask me I’d say we’d never have got promoted without Krul, as it would have been McGovern between the sticks. With injury prone players I think there are several things you should piece together before signing them - their asking price, highest experience level and how many games they’ve played at that level, and what they want for their wages, as not all injury prone players are rubbish. Byram is still a decent signing in my opinion, as he didn’t have a high asking price, played well in the PL, and can play both right and left-back. I also don’t think he’s quite as injury prone as Jarvis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funny how impressions matter more than facts sometimes It's actually the same situation with Jarvis, his injury record before joining us wasn't terrible in the slightest, yet many posters keep claiming he's been a constant sick note and we deliberately bought a player with an awful injury record, which simply isn't true. Yes, it ended up being an extremely poor investment from us, but in the 10 or so seasons before signed for us he averaged around 30 games a season, hardly someone who's constantly on the physio table...
