Player Watch Player Watch: Micky van de Ven

[HildoSpur]

Unfortunately he is the one player in the squad we can't replace.

 

[glacierSpurs]

To put it in context, we actually only had him for 11 games. If there's any positivity, Ange might just be able to create another undroppable in Ashley Philips.

 

[GioW]

How much pace does Phillips have?

 

[cjbyid]

 

[Joshua]

Sickener. System can’t operate to its full potential without him. Hopefully not one that affects the way he plays going forward.

 

[Chimbo!]

Such a blow. I thought we were indestructible with him at the back. He was the get out of jail free card. Hard to see how we keep the same rate of points.

but, in Ange, we trust.

fingers crossed VDV isn’t out for too long

 

[NickHSpurs]

The biggest blow of the night.

 

[Misfit]

Between Dier, Phillips, Romero possibly and even Davies in a pinch, we'll just have to make the best of it.

Time for a player to possibly step up and stake a claim.

EDIT: Royal, not Romero

 

[Chimbo!]

What you reckon the prognosis? 6-12 weeks depending on severity?

Could be three to six months mate

 

[nedley]

Well I'll say what I only said yesterday.

That other CB best be in by January 1st.

 

[stormfly]

Bring on the transfer window.

 

[Rout-Ledge]

Bring on the transfer window.

We could do with another World Cup right about now

 

[Joshua]

What you reckon the prognosis? 6-12 weeks depending on severity?

If he’s ruptured it badly, and he looked in a lot of pain and couldn’t walk, we’re talking months rather than weeks.

 

[spursfan77]

Unfortunately he is the one player in the squad we can't replace.

He’s going to be a huge miss. Not bringing in another centre back in the summer will fuck us like we all knew it would.

Why do the good players get injured

 

[Russ1201]

Bring on the transfer window.

Yep might if lucky have one in by the last hour of transfer deadlline day with Levy.
Letting Sanchez go could bite us in the bum.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

We were always living on a knife edge with our defensive options. I was hoping we would have lasted longer. I feel really sorry for the lad, he was on his way to being the best CB in the league this season. His pace alone has saved us countless times. I just hope for his sake it’s not going to leave any lasting damage. I guess now is the time to start looking at our youth options.

 

[offside_ruel_fox]

The way he pulled up looked really bad. Like when Owen did his against Leeds. He’ll be out for ages. Be interesting to see who he pairs up with Dier until Romero is back. Especially as we play City in one of those games

 

[Rout-Ledge]

He’s going to be a huge miss. Not bringing in another centre back in the summer will fuck us like we all knew it would.

Was crazy to sell Sanchez and just bring in one.
