Been up this road before with this player haven't we?

An injury-prone player whose performances have been inhibited by niggles in the 40 Championship matches he has played for the Bluebirds since summer 2022.

Time for the club to erase him from the wage roll at the earliest oportunity.

We can't afford to carry passengers.

Wow, you’ve really manipulated those stats there.

36 of those 40 games were played last season, so he missed only 10 last season - one of those was due to suspension. A number of them were a selection choice, not because of injury.

The year before, he had a serious injury which can happen to any player.

I do think we need a new LB, but have to point out that what you’ve posted is extremely unfair.

100% Agreed. Performances is another chat, but appearances last year cannot be questioned.

40 league appearances since summer 2020 for the Bluebirds. Didn't start hitting his straps until the back end of last season and now out again for a couple of months. God knows why we extended his contract.

He hasnt been the same since he came back from injury in my opinion

Before it happened I thought he was a very good player

Now, I dont think as much

Good to have as back up though when he is fit

All you’ve done there is repeat what you initially said so I’ll repeat what I said.

36 of those 40 games were last season, missing just ten. Only a handful of those missed last season were due to injury.

He had a serious injury the season before which can happen to any player.

Little to no evidence of him being injury prone.

This.

He did his ACL. That’s not something that happens as one is injury prone.

Is this a guess the player game for those of us who refuse to click on random website links?

I’ve just looked for you and edited he’s on about Jamilu Collins who I actually like.

He’s a Nigerian international and prior to injury he was MOTM in more than one game I went to. I agree with others hasn’t quite been the same since but it was a serious injury and if he can kick on this year you may eat your words.
Good pro to have around the club one more year in any case.

Think that's rather harsh.

Was one of our best players at the tail end of last season.

I don't think I've agreed with a single post you've made.

Can't tell if you're on the windup or if you're actually just clueless

I agree; but I’m apparently not being kind to Ninian27 for saying he has nothing good to say about our club for someone who I understand is a genuine ‘supporter’

For the record, I will not be at the Sunderland game for personal reasons that follow on from my missing the latter end of last season; but I will be back soon and look forward to doing so… :ayatollah:

Same situation with Rambo just because missed so many fees doesn't nessasarely mean injury prone? acl or any knee injury is long time recovery no matter if 18 or 32!

How?

Footballers are not second-hand cars. "Hey, Jamulu fancy leaving?" "yeah, just pay me up the remainder of my contract and we'll call it quits"
"ah, but that 12 months, so probably £500k"
"sounds right"
"but there are guys on a football forum who believe you are a waste of money"
"get them to pay off the contract then"


They sign a contract and we need to honour it. Its simple

I hope your personal problems will be solved in time Sven and you will be able to return to watch the mighty Bluebirds soon.
I and you, am sure we will have a better and more exciting season this year. :ayatollah: :bluebird:

Thank you, Brezza; I appreciate that and agree. I’m actually looking forward to seeing what occurs this season without placing too much pressure on promotion and more on real improvement across the club! :ayatollah:
