VVD almost had his leg broken after being chopped down in a bad tackle. If he was picking up long term injuries just running around I don't think people would want to sign him - for big money anyway.

so its ok if its a tackle ? pretty much sums it up... i know and know of lots of players that have come through a run of horrendous injuries and also some that have had to stop playing... knowing which is which in between injuries is for mystic meg fans not football...this perfect world stuff is not how real life is , and not just football...
as for just running around the injury he was recovering from came during an under 23 match..

VVD was injured by an horrendous tackle!

Up to that point he was outstanding at the back for Liverpool and to my knowledge had only missed a few games.

Hopefully he comes back without any problems and resumes his career.

There is absolutely no comparison with IV who had a long history prior to signing for us! How the hell we didn’t put a clause in his contract about further injuries is a complete mystery. As pointed out if he wouldn’t sign a contract with such a clause that would immediately have sent one a message he was worried about his body.

In such a case we should have walked away.

I don’t think he has ever been injured in a tackle more like suffered from injuries from running etc.

Let the club learn from it and not sign any player who has a history of injuries. Thus avoiding having a player on the books collecting money for no reason.

If he worked in the real world any company would have got shot before now and certainly he would not have had top quality medical advice to boot.


yes lets learn by it and sack the whole squad because each and every one has had injuries....... jesus

Do you actually follow City?

Players get injured all the time some more than most however IV has a nightmare of medical history and there appears no light at the end of the tunnel.

You simply cannot sack a person whilst on the "sick" neil warnock pursued vassell,an DC had a huge say in his signing! Backed by the committee on his trust,so failings all around,but if your manager insists this,or that player is worth the outlay,then the board will(most likely) back the manager,as he is the man with the most knowledge,especially with warnock?

So are you saying there is no such thing as an injury prone player? If a manager was to sign jazz richards now, you wouldn't have to be mystec meg to predict he would be most likely spend more time than usual out injured. You'd just have to take a look at his medical record.

Some players are fortunate enough to go through their careers with few injuries and, on the opposite end of the spectrum, some players careers are plaqued with injury. Vassel falls into the latter. For whatever reason it seems he is prone to picking up injuries through tearing and pulling muscles.

no you cant go around sacking people especially if their illness/injury happened in work.. i doubt there is a club at any level anywhere in the world that has not had this bad luck having signed a player..

I don’t think I mentioned anything about sacking!

He’d have to be paid up and released so win all around for the player.

During my careers, I’ve known on numerous occasions that people have applied for a job and been turned down and it was all down to their poor sickness records.

You cannot cater for a player getting a serious injury but you can control not signing a player who has a history of injuries before it starts.

Just don't sign players with his kind of injury record, it's not worth the risk. I hope we have now learnt after Jazz and Isaac.

Ok,fair play you said get rid (without the mention of being paid up!) Not sacking,you didn't clarify he would be paid up, which by the way,doesn't free up a wage,as he would still receive his full contracted pay from the club.I'm not saying it was right to sign him,in fact I was taken by surprise,when warnock said he had wanted to sign him for years! I believe he convinced the committee that he was worth signing,as why or how could they argue with a man of his experience on football?? Hasn't worked out to date,so I guess we will try and get him fit,to loan out in january(if a club would take him that is). :old: :bluebird:
