Popular Post villa4europe Posted July 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2022 RLC, CHO to me are the same as Joe Gomez, good player in there somewhere but they've had a history of injuries and not playing because they're 5th choice at their top 6 club, earning good money and due to FFP no way will there be value for money there We wont catch these teams by throwing money at their cast offs, we shouldn't be anywhere near them 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I like the stature of RLC.....but I like the industry/workrate of Gallagher, I think his effervescent personality rubs off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 It's a no from me to RLC. Let Fulham or someone sign him. 25m is extortionate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 RLC is a proper player. Peforms the exact same way as JJ though. Drives forward with the football. Always loved his style . If he is around 20 mill and the medical shows his knee is perfect now then its brilliant busness . Gets some height in our midfield . And it will be really exciting watching him. 100 % all the way in for this . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to me like Chelsea did with him, exactly what we should have done with Sanson if we wanted to get rid of him. Give them enough game time to look reliable, and then laugh all the way to the bank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly a cast off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now they'll try and sell him because they rate Gallagher higher We shouldnt be in for RLC at £25-30m we should be testing their resolve over Gallagher with £45-50m 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's missed on average 14 games per year since 2017, even if you exclude his biggest injury, it's still roughly 10 games per season he misses. The best data I could find was a study on the A-League which suggests the average games missed per season due to injury is somewhere between 2-5 matches, so I'd say he's pretty injury prone.

To be fair, an Achilles injury is only one injury, but it's a significant one. Athletes are rarely the same afterward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 A fit RLC is a very good player. Some players just have awful injury records. Look at Martin Laursen. One of the best centre backs I've ever seen but his body could only do it for two seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
