When's Bates bk from injury?

[Tetteys Jig 851]

Roeder seems still keen on him from what was said a bit ago, so maybe he''ll be ours on the cheap soon, and he can overcome his injury nightmare and become a key figure for us

hasnt he had the same cruciate injury twice now? Id steer well clear... any pace he had is now likely to have gone!

Zema Abbey did his knee twice and was recently released by Forest Green in the conference....

Let someone else loan Bates and take the risk.. we can soon monitor the situation form there

I agree with Jas here - the guy is a good player but is always likely to be injury prone even if he does keep his levels of performance

Can''t we jus get him in cheap in the hope he does come good, cos he''s a prem class defender barring injury

If it doesn''t come off then we''re stuck with him on our wage bill and not many potential buyers I would imagine

[Tetteys Jig 851]

Which is why he''ll cost less than his ability suggests, it''s a gamble, like Bischoff at Arsenal

Are you people this bored? [:P]

[Tetteys Jig 851]

Yes, it''s jus i remember his debut for us and he was amazing! Excellent crosser, good defender and had a right bit of energy about him

It sounds like you have an unhealthy interest in the player! Do you have posters of him on your wall?

[Tetteys Jig 851]

Lol, no, jus i only saw 1 game last yr living so far away, and he was our best player in the 20 mins he played, vs preston at home

He''s been carried off the pitch so many times, he''s had handles sown on his shorts! - stay well clear
