Or maybe let's not pretend a basic observation is a conspiracy theory.

An internet rumour is now basic observation?

That would explain a lot.

 

[moses]

Why do you reckon that is? Can't lie caftards got me wondering what's really going on here

I think its nothing, just gatekeeping information. ETH doesn't give much away about anything in any interviews.

 

[moses]

Well the rumour is presumably based on that video and on ETH saying he’d only trained in half of the sessions.

Still a rumour.

 

[Blood Mage]

Still can't believe this, I hope it's only a 1 month injury at worst.

 

[moses]

I hope it's a few days.

 

[GledTheRed]

I hope it's a few days.

I hope it's no days.

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

By the time we actually get an update on his injury he might have recovered.

 

[Hoof the ball]

I think it's quite clear that if Yoro has a serious injury the reason it hasn't been communicated publicly is because we're knee deep in discussions over multiple defenders.

Should that information drop, it could have an impact on other teams leveraging a position of strength against us.

 

[Bowlcut11]

I hope it's no days.

I hope it's negative days and he receives an Uno reverse card to use next time the injury demon comes a-knockin'

Or it's because we do experiments on them in training and we cant let that info out!

Or he just never says anything to cover all bases in all circumstances. Which is what he he has done since he arrived. The same stock answer is perfect. Then nobody can read into it. You'd think.

Personally, I think it's bullying. He only went down injured because EtH was kicking the poor kid around in the changing room prior.

I heard that.

 

[AlexUTD]

Am I missing something? They're just saying what ETH already told us. We've been careful with Yoro, making him sit out half of the training sessions. We all presumed this was because he joined pre-season late. I don't see why any of that would be a reason he couldn't play 45 minutes of a friendly match?

You said "almost limping about" in another post. Where did you get that from?

If he cannot train, why can he play a 45 min friendly?

The limping about was a comment said on one of the channels when they were watching United train. I do not know if i have time to run through all the videos to find the time stamp since i am at work.

 

[GlasgowRedz]

You'd expect that if it wasn't too serious then they'd just come out and say so.

The lack of confirmation is just creating a vacuum that is allowing rumours to be spread. It definitely is concerning.

 

[prateik]

Nev says it's 2 weeks..

Nobody said he can’t train. ETH said he is attending 50% of the training sessions. Each of which surely lasts more than 45 minutes.

 

[Foolsgold21]

where did he say this?

Ok i missed that comment from Erik. Then i can understand where you are coming from.

When they give a timeframe it's often wrong, thus allowing rumours to be spread. There's not a lot you can do to stop idle chat.

A 2 week injury and Neville in the same sentence gives me PTSD.

 

[LawCharltonBest]

Phil Neville?

I think by not saying anything it's worse than giving a rough timeframe and for that to be wrong.

Phil Neville?

That's Phizza.

Agree. I understand ETH thinks there are benefits of not telling so much about injuries because it is knowledge he wants to avoid giving to opponents and also for the transfer market. However it is really frustrating as a fan following the club when you get a zero info. Especially when it comes to such an exciting new player.

I heard once that information and rumours are like filling up a cup. If you only pour a little info in to the cup, the rest will be rumours, as the cup will always be full.

 

[lysglimt]

2 weeks out or 2 weeks until we are told anything ?

 

[Andeva]

What did I miss?

 

[McFred]

Phil Neville?

Neville Neville

 

[WirralRed]

what’s with the impatience here? What difference dose it make if the club come out and tell us how long he is injured for? I really don’t see the benefit.

 

[Woodzy]

What did I miss?

There was a period during the end of Gary Neville's career where he was injured for an extended time, and his expected return date was 'around 2 weeks' for about 3 months.

 

[Wrecking ralf]

To the Branthwaite thread....

 

[noodlehair]

I hope it's negative days and he receives an Uno reverse card to use next time the injury demon comes a-knockin'

If you go back and watch the Arsenal game he actually came back on fully recovered before he got injured in the first place.

 

[pascell]

Has he retired due to injury yet?

 

[lex talionis]

This is no time for panic.

 

[Tibs]

Considering we were so shit last season, and that resulted in the relationship between the players/manager and fans erode (literally boos at so many games), you'd think a more open and honest relationship is what we'd be working towards.

If he's out for 2 weeks, 4, weeks, or knowing our shit medical team, 6 months, just let us know so we know where we're at! Instead, its rumour mill that helps nobody.

I don't think swifter injury updates would make any meaningful difference to the broader levels of dissatisfaction at club performance.

Not asking for on the day, it's been 3-4 days now?

No but maybe it will go some way to placating the excitable cafe members....

There is something a tad iffy about being overly eager to placate excitable members IMO

I doubt the club give a feck it's just something I want, as it's one less thing for people to moan about!
