Realistically Kamara won't be getting back up to speed until early 2025 so our first summer signing must be a DM. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's also younger than those 3 and will be at least at the Ollie/Mings level soon. (Emi level is best at his position in the world...not sure if Kamara has that much upside.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 Telling that we’ve conceded as many as we have without him and Luiz’s performance have gone rapidly downhill. He’s a silky player and integral to the way we play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buendia and mings are missing the whole season as others have mentioned timber is missing the whole season so it feels unlikely he would be back by November if his injury is as bad as those others 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be 10 months out. If Kamara is out for the same length of time he is looking at November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Not counting on him being back in regular form until Christmas. Great if it's sooner. We need cover that is at a similar ability as him if we make the CL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he may get back involved in the squad right at the end of the year. Pretty much misses all our potential CL campaign so for that alone we can't be messing around trying to sign a DM all summer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buendia and mings are missing the whole season as others have mentioned timber is missing the whole season so it feels unlikely he would be back by November if his injury is as bad as those others It's mostly just about how well you recover. If you have a grade 2 or 3 Acl tear you have to have the same surgery regardless and the recovery time is the same. Which is about 6-9months. I imagine we are being very cautious with Mings and Buendia we put ourselves in a very good position without them and maximising their recovery for next season is more ilprotant than getting them to play 10 minutes a game this season. There is probably a slim chance Kamara will be ready for the new season, a good chance that he will be ready after the first or second international break to be a bit part player and by mid December he should be fully ready to be starting. Mings damaged multiple ligaments though which is why his recovery is so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buendia and mings are missing the whole season as others have mentioned timber is missing the whole season so it feels unlikely he would be back by November if his injury is as bad as those others Yes, there are different types of ACL injury. I did mine at 32 years old and was back full training at about 8 months, but not really fully match fit until 12 months. Even then it was probably another six months before I felt 100%. There are also other factors such as meniscus damage etc that can increase severity of the injury.... The biggest issue is not the repair(s) healing time, but rebuilding the muscle and then re-training said muscle fibers for range of motion, elasticity etc. With the level these pros are at, it's a lot of work to get back to the same performance level in that leg... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Even if today didn't matter at all I've just had a look at our defensive record since he's been injured in prem. Played 14, conceded 29! Over two goals a game. In the 14 games Kamara played before his ACL we conceded 14 goals. He also missed those three games over Xmas and we conceded 6 goals in three games and couldn't keep clean sheets against the two worst teams in the league at VP. It's vital we don't fudge the DM issue over the summer otherwise we will fall away in the league next year like Newcastle have done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Afro Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 He has been our biggest loss this season. Add to his loss the fact that Doug has completely forgotten how to play football and you can understand why we have had so many problems in the final third of the season. We desperately need someone to replace Boubs and Doug so that injuries and loss of form do not have such a derailing effect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
