I’m not blaming Hoyland for them, we’ve been signing injury prone players for years.

What I’m saying is that hopefully with the new owners (who Desmondo seems to be intrinsically linked) we have a new mindset when it comes to these matters.

If we didn’t sign crocks we’d never have signed Didzy so it’s not always a bad thing.

You did literally just say that Jamie Hoyland seems happy to keep signing injured players.

Anyway, I think an issue for me is not us signing injury prone players because I don't think we do, but rather we often find ourselves renewing the contracts of players whose availability is inconsistent.

Ben Osborn springs to mind here. JLT another. If McBurnie and Baldock didn't have ambitions to go overseas I could have seen us resigning them both and they would arguably go into that category. Brewster we all know should not get another contract.

I hope we listen to The Prince's ability/availability advice.
 
Didn't Wilder say he expected new arrivals in the next "4 - 5 days"? That was said before the Cardiff cup game on the Wednesday so that would be the end of today!

Same old delays it seems. I'm guessing Choudhury will be the first in based on current rumours BBD hopefully soon but maybe the end of the week.

He does sign injury prone players, I don’t blame him for it though. It’s clearly a strategy we’ve used for years to get better value in the transfer market. The problem is that you don’t always end up with value.

Do you think Cooper if he’d not had a long term injury in recent history would be the few £m we paid for him?

It can be a calculated risk we’re willing to take, but then don’t moan when they inevitably pick up minor injuries and are out for longer than we’d like.

The giving of new contracts to players I’m fully agreed on. We make some bizarre decisions in that respect.

Cooper is not injury prone. Souttar was not injury prone. JRS has a hamstring injury, it hardly makes him injury prone.
I don't know about Campbell and Shackleton's prior injury record, but if anyone of the 5 might have an issue, I'd say Shackleton on the basis he has hardly played anyway.

I think its a slight misperception.

And then proceed to use said communication as official club comms, as if Bettis has stood outside Platinum Suite in front of the gathered press
 
Difficult to ascertain whether we’re lowballing Southampton to get BBD on the cheap, or whether it’s them being cunts and screwing us knowing we’ll have funds from the takeover. Gonna go to the wire this one methinks.

As someone that can’t be arsed with reading the articles I welcome the tweets, they’re straight to the point
 

FFs why do we always take so long if we cant do the deal move on same goes for choudry suppose to be in for Norwich game not a chance

Aye
What you’ve also overlooked is when a random poster on here ‘suggests’ a target or a ‘reason’ why something is(nt) happening which is then repeated/ regurgitated by the initial article !?!?
 
I’m not sure where the stumbling block is with this deal. If we agree to the deal which incorporates an ‘obligation’ should we get promotion, then surely he will be ours to sell if needs be and get most, if not all of our investment back for him. If the circumstances are right and he remains injury free, we could even make a small profit.
 
BBD lives in Stafford baby on the way, could be a reason for dip in form, Only hope for southampton would be a Midlands club comes in for him, my take is accept our offer or F off he clearly wants to come

You need to join Blades Facebook groups, there's a poster who'll post 3 different accounts for a player and they all just quote the same article for the source😄 Just post the original one then!

Some ignorance being shown on this thread. The window for Official Club Look At Me ends on Friday so that’s where the effort is. Daz and Hal are being flown in tomorrow and Nick and Ramble are catching a bus for the interviews.

No, because contracts are contracts and his was running out and he stated he wasn’t signing a new one.

There’s an element of that, but I’m sure other clubs would have been offering more if he had a clean injury record.

He’s turned out a great signing so I’m glad for it.

What did you mean by this then?
If he flops we don't go up anyway so the obligation wouldn't apply

He isn't individually the difference, but given how stretched the squad is, whoever's involved on matchday will have to be on their game for us to go up.

What does it have to say about Brewster and McBurnie.
Click to expand...

'Both Brewster and McBurnie's injury frequencies are higher than many peers in their positions, with Brewster's being particularly notable due to his youth. This highlights challenges in managing their physical health, potentially impacting their career progression and team performance.'

Here's an exercise comparing the injury frequency of Rhian Brewster and Oli McBurnie to their peers in terms of age, position, and the leagues they've played in:

Rhian Brewster

Injury History:

  • Sheffield United: Brewster has had a notable history of injuries since joining Sheffield United in 2020:
    • Hamstring Injuries: He suffered multiple hamstring injuries, notably a significant one in October 2022 which kept him out for months, and another in August 2023.
    • Other Injuries: Brewster has also had issues with his knee and back, indicating a pattern of recurring injuries. His time at Sheffield United has been marred by these injuries, making him miss substantial portions of several seasons.
      https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/foo...ter-injury-state-of-play-oli-mcburnie-4241376
      Comparison:

  • Age and Position: Brewster, born in 2000, is 24 years old. As a forward, he's in a position where injuries can be frequent due to physical demands.
  • Premier League and Championship Peers:
    • His injury record, particularly with hamstrings, is somewhat higher than average for players his age in similar positions. Compare to players like Dominic Calvert-Lewin or Tammy Abraham, who have also had hamstring issues but not as frequently or with such long recovery times.
    • In terms of overall availability, Brewster's injury frequency stands out as higher than many peers, which has affected his consistency on the pitch.

Oli McBurnie

Injury History:

  • Sheffield United: McBurnie's injury history at Sheffield United has been quite extensive:
  • Age and Position: McBurnie, born in 1996, is 28 years old. Playing as a forward, particularly as a target man, can lead to a higher incidence of injuries due to the physical confrontations involved.
  • Premier League and Championship Peers:
    • McBurnie's injury frequency is high even when compared to forwards of similar age who play in a similar physical style, like Chris Wood or Callum Wilson. His foot injuries, in particular, have been quite severe, leading to extended absences.
    • His injury record suggests he's more injury-prone than the average for his age and position, especially considering the type and severity of injuries like the foot fractures.

General Observations:
  • Injury Types: Both players have had significant injuries that are not uncommon in football (hamstrings, feet, shoulders) but the frequency and recovery time for Brewster and McBurnie are notable.
  • Comparison to Peers:
    • Rhian Brewster: His injury record is concerning for someone his age, suggesting either bad luck, underlying physical issues, or the need for better injury prevention strategies.
    • Oli McBurnie: His history of foot injuries, in particular, might indicate a susceptibility to this type of injury or issues with footwear, playing surface, or physical conditioning tailored to his playing style.
  • League Impact: Both have played in the Championship and Premier League, with injuries potentially exacerbated by the step-up in physicality or the different demands of each league.
  • Conclusion: Both Brewster and McBurnie's injury frequencies are higher than many peers in their positions, with Brewster's being particularly notable due to his youth. This highlights challenges in managing their physical health, potentially impacting their career progression and team performance.
