According to Call Rob last night he has a lot of swelling and can't have a scan until Tuesday to assess if there is any damage.

Posted on instagram this morning saying he is devastated.
Does not look good

It's a big blow that's for sure.

It looked bad.
The way they are talking about scans and waiting for swelling to ease points to ligament damage rather than a bone issue.
Could be out for months unfortunatly.

If he is out for months then he will drop out of the 25 at least till January, so who will we shoe in, Pilkington, Tomlin or will we get a striker in?

I would assume it would be Pilkington.

But even though it wont happen:

Two players available on free signings are Hatem ben Arfa and Mario Ballotelli.
Tan would have to loosen the purse strings but they have the flair and experiance we need to open up defences and create/score goals.

We can always dream i suppose

Scrap that just realised that the rule has changed and cant sign anybody even free signings.

Pilkington would be my choice
