dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 ACL injuries are nasty, not to be taken lightly. I only dislocated my knee (don't know if I've ever mentioned that) and 3 months later it still hurts. I would hope this has been looked at.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 In truth I'm not sure about Hogan, I simply don't know enough about him. His goal record is pretty insane though and he seems to have the right attitude, from what I can gather. Big stage though. My fingers are crossed because we need a natural goalscorer. Kodjia, love him as I do, is a one man band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 With our history when it comes to signings keeping fit players fit is an issue let alone ones with previous injury problems De Laet, Bouma, Nils, e.t.c the list goes on We have been very unlucky so far lets hope it doesn't continue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from that 1 freaky 6 month period under GH when we had about 15 injuries I don't think we have been bad for them, sometimes players are out injured, sometimes it's bad, but we're no worse than any other club I don't think, we're certainly no Arsenal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan 2012 Okore 2013 Kozak 2013 Benteke 2014 Vlaar 2014 Amavi 2015 De Laet 2016 I'd say that's pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that's not outrageous when compared to other teams, I'm no expert on other teams (or even Villa most of the time!) but I can't imagine it's unusual to lose a player to a 3 month+ injury each season can it? Injuries are a part of football, we may not be particularly lucky with them but I wouldn't say we're unlucky either. Without seeing other teams numbers I couldn't be sure, don't think it's a big enough issue to go digging around lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolteExile Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 3 months + maybe. Most of that lot were out for at least 6 months and usually more. Okore, Kozak, Benteke, Amavi and De Laet's injuries were all season ending injuries - at a time when they were looking like important players for us. No other club to my mind has had a run like that recently. Newcastle back around 2006-9 might have pushed us close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
