Bangura injury 🤷‍♂️

Doubt we'll hear anything, seems to be the policy these days.

We are having a good look at McCormick over the next few weeks before we decide if we really need Giles.
 
The last we heard the Club were waiting to fully assess the injury, but that could be a smoke screen until transfer window is closed.

I for one dont believe for a second that the medical staff dont know exactly what is wrong with him and have already put in place his treatment and projected a recovery time to MC.
If it is common knowledge that you have a long term injury in a position where you are already weak, it piques the interest of any clubs door you go knocking on for potential sales of their players.
"Oh you want our left back and your current left back is out for the season. Yea no problem, it going to cost you ÂŁ8M"

One of the things I do like about MC is his ability to keep things close to his chest.
 
Just had some fresh thoroughbread horse placenta flown into DTV from Cannes on private plane , so hopefully he'll be freshly bandaged up with it by tonight , and ready for a start vs Herev err the club we play on Sat .
 
It will be interesting to see whether Carrick will be tempted to start McCormick tomorrow - give him a proper test and see how he holds up.
 
I've been told he's done his Achilles, but. totally understandably, the club are keeping it under wraps to stop the price of other players going through the roof. If it is a long term injury I can sadly see this being the end of his time here. He just can't be relied on to stay fit.

Yes, i thought that. No reflection on him or his ability as footballer but the move has been a disaster really so wonder if the club will lose patience. Same was said of Matt Clark mind you and he has been successfully rehabilitated so there's still hope for Bangura.
 
I like young George McCormick from what I have seen pre-season. He is a confident lad and has took his chance admirably, however, I doubt very much MC would put too much pressure on his young shoulders.
I can see him getting League cup games and a lot of Champers bench time, but possibly not as a regular starter. Then again, I could be wrong (I normally am) 🤣

I fully agree but Clarke was one injury, albeit a very lengthy one, no? Bangura has now had 3 seperate lengthy injuries since he joined.

It would be a huge statement to start McCormick tomorrow ahead of Engel and a significant blow for Engel, too big a risk and I would be shocked if MC started McCormick because it risks his confidence and it tells Engel something which, being in a vunerable position with experience in the left back position tells me Engel will play 90mins no less with MC non verbally saying to Engel, go on….show me…this is your opportunity….step up 🤷‍♂️
 
Michael Carrick confirms Alex Bangura is injured: “Unfortunately, Alex is going to be out for a period of time. He’s had an operation on his Achilles, which is not great news for us.”

Yeah, heard the inevitable myself from MC.

O well. Maybe by end of January he could be a new signing….6 months is usually the time frame isn’t it ?

Be lucky to see him this season, dependent on tear/rupture, a real shame for the lad as I think we've all rated the bits we've seen from him, but that's now 3 separate bad injuries in 12 months - I imagine we'll part ways next summer. Left back position now needs urgent attention.
