Antman Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 "he has fluid on his knee from playing Sat - Tues - Sat" ??? so was this flagged at his medical? he is young and (i would have thought) shouldn't be experiencing this sort of thing this early in his career. it's also no suprise that we have games weekends and midweeks so i'm wondering why we aren't looking more aggresively fro a new CB for cover at the very least. a bit of a worry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 After my wife chucked me out I've had fluid on my knee most nights. Just wipe it off with a tissue. No big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTone Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 so was this flagged at his medical?Why would it be ?I've had many ailments that have happened without warning and I expect you are the same. A crystal ball is a wonderful tool for managers.I work with a 36 year old bloke who is a bodybuilder and boxer. He just had a heart attack. Why didn't the doctor tell him before that it was going to happen ????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fairly standard for someone who covers lots of distance and has naturally crazy knees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didn't the doctor tell him before that it was going to happen ????? if its occured since he was signed then yes, you're right, but the way it was casually defended (IMO) suggested that it was a long standing thing. effective players medicals are key to signing fit and healthy players - i'm just wondering if it was known about and we decided to get the lad anyhow - just seems odd to take a punt (nd we paid for him dont forget) on a player with knee issues. the heart thing as we know can strike the most fit and healthy of us, so i'm not sure if thats a fair comparsion to be made and yes, at my age, bits seem to drop off or stop working at regular intervals, but i've given up on my pro footie career and yes, i also have the popping, crackling knees.

It's fairly standard for someone who covers lots of distance and has naturally crazy knees. its only an issue as its possibly restricting how much he plays (hence the article) - not something you'd want as a pro footballer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had those, but hydrotherapy and a bit of weight loss have done wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
