That. Sucks. Not sure about his playing career after this one, but I pray they can do the surgery and rehab so he can at least live a pain free life.

And so hey about that attacking mid everyone wanted you guys to sign....

We have many more options now this time around.  Ivan has looked good and there's reason to be optimistic about Omir.

 

What I hate is that I liked Valot as the best option behind Kaku.  Don't like Beze in that spot it's a hard position to get someone else to play.

Absolutely devistating.

I dont think were the type of club to throw someone on the scrap heap at least I hope not.

If he still wants this I hope we get him back but who knows how he could have been with two full seasons as a starter

Absolute bummer. Was looking great in bouncing back from the ACL tear last year and now on the other side.

Still have a lot of depth on right wing.

Don't see Valot coming back to the full team again. With back to back blown knees (and one on each leg), he'll be a huge question mark going forward.

ACL tears are often just fluke injuries, not necessarily a structural weakness. He can be back but losing 2 seasons is terrible, of course.

The rehab sure sucks, good luck to him.

Dirty tackle, shitty refereeing.  Terrible all around.


If you scan YouTube looking for Bradley Wright-Phillips, youll find numerous goal compilations, a few interviews and, eventually, an excerpt from the grime mixtape series Lord of the Mics.

What will the league do? Probably nothing.

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

Am I crazy or was it not a PRO initiative a few years ago to cut down on the exact type of tackle that injured Valot where the defender follows through with his trailing leg? Maybe time for another training session with the refs...

Man was hoping this wasn't the case. That's probably his career over.

We need to get rid and get a replacement

That's pretty unnecessary and cruel at this stage.

He came back from the last one, he'll come back from this one.  

 

Meanwhile, we should sign a little $5M DP stop-gap type player to hold us over until he's back.
