I see Danny Rose has gone to get more surgery on his knee. have we lent Spurs our medical team?
It sounds like a similar approach to the one we took with Kashi obviously. But to be fair, most doctors would probably agree that if you can avoid surgery, it's for the best. Now the whole letting him return to training before discovering the problem hadn't been fixed/gotten worse is curious, though it could be the case that in the course of going back to training he re-aggravated the injury, or that it was only going through the intensities of training that some swelling returned.
Look, I can be very skeptical of how football clubs treat injuries. If this were my multi-million pound England international I would be doing weekly scans to see how he's healing, and maybe that's happening, maybe it's not. But from my limited experience with such injuries (also have a dodgy knee), these things are more intricate than they can seem.
Also, how is Danny Rose only 26?!?!?!?! I know he broke through at Leeds at like 17 but still. Between all his U21 caps he must be this generation's James Milner (even though James Milner is this generation's James Milner).
It just sounds worryingly familiar. It's interesting how medical science has made breakages painful but in nearly all cases fully recoverable, but struggles more with muscles and ligaments
True, although to be fair there was a huge breakthrough with arthroscopic surgery maybe 20-25 years ago that is now the norm and has completely transformed how ligament issues are handled.
Exiled's point is a good one, the human body is incredibly complex. That said, I'm not convinced that football clubs are necessarily at the point of the spear when it comes to science and medicine, but I think it usually looks worse from the outside looking in.
Thing is, with Kashi, and Marshall , and Holmes staying (if he does), if we can get one more box-to-box player (easy said than done , i know), then its looking really good for starters.
Yes, we need to see how fit and match ready he is but will be delighted for him personally if he is playing again and delighted for us if we get a player of his quality back.
No one will sign a player who hasn't played for two years (except maybe us). Whatever happens with him: fit or not, good or rubbish. He will be a Charlton player next season. I bet he is on a fair chunk too.

They might if he was allowed to leave for a small fee or free....although as you suggest, his wages could be hard to match. I hope for everyone's sake, he doesn't pick up another serious injury.

Another one we don't need to pay for.
Just using the preseason as a shop window. Not sure he wants to play for us.
Holmes, Kashi, Caskey, Marshall
Magennis, Vetokele
That team could go up ; evidently we won't start with that team
I hope he does, great footballer.
The wording of the tweet is rather vague though
