Do we not think £150k + wages on a young player who has a known medical issue, who admittedly did very well (but for only 4 games nearly a year ago) is a huge gamble? They paid 100k for Nuttall. 150k is a bargain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osgood-Schlatter disease happens during the growth spurt of puberty, when the bones, muscles, and tendons grow at different rates. In OSD, the tendon that connects the shinbone to the kneecap pulls on the growth plate at the top of the shinbone. ************************************ Apparently it’s a temporary condition which invariably sorts itself out in time. However, the only treatment when it kicks in is rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncowl Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Just gotta be patient with him. 45 career apps and 6 goals. I don't think we need to heap the pressure on such a young lad but unfortunately we will. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree but the good thing is if he comes(and who knows it may well head west this) we have depth in the squad which means we can take him out the firing line abd rotate him if it's not working.

Yep I also suffered with this and it's not nice! Its bloody painful and as some have alreday said the only real cure is rest. Hope our medics assess how bad this is before we make a committment. Dont get me wrong i'd love Stones to join us on a perm level, however not if he plays 3 or 4 games then is out for 2 months at a time.... I'd be tempted to go down the loan route initially and see how he goes until the end of November....then fork out the cash if he has no issues.

deyres42 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Definitely fits the profile of signing we should be making. Bit of a worry that Wigan are seemingly happy to let him go though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some you win some you lose. Ask Peterborough . If you don't buy a lottery ticket you'll never win. Joe R. bought a few and won.Ritchie, Irwin and the others.Lets hope we can win again.

There are certainly going to be several unhappy players. Reid, Hogan, and Norman surely will be gone because I don’t think any of them will be in a match day squad. Kitching’s place could also be under threat. I think Sutton, Doro & Moore could be made available for loan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
