Right the rumour i heard was from my brother-in-law who runs an accountancy firm and he told by one of his clients. (Yes i know how that sounds). So anyway the reason Ledley's knee is messed up is not he keeps injuring it but he was stabbed in the knee. By who and when? I don't know. But i must admit i was :rofl: when i first heard it.

Whatever the truth about Kings prospects of playing again, we have to start being realistic. Not many players that have been through what he has been through, injury wise in the last few years, have ever been able to make a full recovery and recover form and fitness as before for a prolonged period.
We need to bring in a top drawer experienced CB and if King makes it back properly then it's a bonus, if not then at least we have one top drawer CB again.

That Centre half at Getafa looked decent.

Swapsies with the missus?
:rofl:
It's not always his knee anyway. It's just been a mixture of different injuries over the years. Never a recurring injury of the same place.

the prospect of King playing again i think will create the same feeling inside me as drinking when i'm really thristy, or weeing when i've been holding it in for ages, or getting into bed when i'm really tired, or kissing gIRl fRiEnd of tRiKS when i've been apart from her for ages.

If there was no chance of him ever playing again, why would he still be with us...?! Would we be forking out all that money on his wages/surgery/rehabilitation programmes etc...?!?
I very much doubt it! Yes he's had a bad injury, but judging by those photos, the return of the king is near...and i can't wait!
COYS!

It does sound like a bullshit story but then again if i could find odds on it i'd certainly bet on not seeing King again before the new year. I've given up waiting for him back, Shanks is right in saying he'll never be the same imo. Some players get so many injuries its impossible for them to hold them back for any prolonged period of time.

I actually watched the story unfold. The Evening Shit Standard had a story saying that King had had a setback (not stating when this had taken place) and that they had been the first to reveal this 2 months previously (now giving us some kind of time reference) Spurs had then said there was not a problem (clearly there was or he would have been back by now).
Thus we can see that this is a rehash of the original story they had referred to and not any "new" news. Unfortunately for them and the rest of the media sheep who then ran the earlier Standard story from wednesday, on Thursday morning pictures emerged of King training quite happily with the rest of the squad.
Now instead of admitting they were wrong and actually reporting that King was training they did everything but. We now see several stories reporting that Bale may be fit for Sunday's game after "returning to training" even though he was not among those photographed in training the previous day. But still absolutely not one mention of King being in training. Why? Because it will expose the Evening Standard as being a bunch of lying pricks and it would expose the rest of them as publishing stories that they have not actually checked out.
The sad fact is that we have become fair game, especially for the standard for obvious reasons, and football news is essentially like chinese whispers. The majority of the news "sources" on newsnow for example simply rehash the stories that any of the other "sources" come out with. They use stock phrases like "reports suggest" or "a source close to the player/club/coach/ add as appropriate today emerged" etc etc etc.
Like many have pointed out, far from being injury prone King has had several fairly bad but completely unrelated injuries over the last 2 seasons. Somebody like Gardner or Anderton for example had consistent and related injuries over prolonged periods. When King has returned, other than being clearly unfit, he has looked as good as ever. He is also young and has not actually played that much football.
I think that he will be fine and all of these stories of him being like Paul Mcgrath are just media speculation. He should be given as long as it takes to get healthy before being gently introduced back into the team.
If the situation was such that he could not play any longer the club would sell him and not be spending 2 million per year on his wages. He clearly believes he will play again and is eager to do so.

He'll be back, better than ever. Fully fixed, allowed to heal properly, and ready to haul us up the table on the back of his world-class ability.
The atmosphere at the game he returns in will be incredible. Fully expect a long ovation and deafening songs in his honour.:clap:
