If there is a serious issue with sports medicine at the club, and this and previous years shows there is, then investing in that and the tech, be it better equipment in the medical suites at SL, access to better doctors or better tech to track players performance, is needed.Investing in sports science that keep a squad fit is better then a squad of 30 to cope with injuries that can be stopped21

Allegedly, our medical team was inherited for Arsenal where there where also many injuries.
How true that is I don't know.
Clearly more can be done but not sure it's always the medics fault.2 -
If he’s that much of a wonder Kid why isn’t he playing in their first team ?MickeyBennett said:West Brom wonderkid Rakeem Harper is a loan target for the club's Championship rivals Leeds, Fulham, QPR and Charlton.

12 days to do our business. No idea what’s happening with Taylor but we need a player who is going to score ten goals between now and the end of the season. Pretty much anything less will undo all Bowyers hard work last season. Defence are clearly unable to keep a clean sheet and at a bare minimum we need a commanding partner for Lockyer. Yes I’m worried.1

Or players just can't cope with the championship?.0

Would WBA loan a player to promotion rivals Leeds or Fulham.
QPR maybe but they have loaned us players before and apart from sending them back injured they have done well : - )0 -

10..?! I think 5 or 6 is more realistic. That would put the player in the 1 in 3 category (at worse).....which is pretty good these days. 1 in 2 and you're talking promotion material. 10 in 16 you'd be having to pay millions.ShootersHillGuru said:12 days to do our business.

Swapping a 36 year old for a 29 year old doesn’t sound to good to me.JoshAddick said:
Is that really so ‘ridiculous’ ?Jamie19 said:
Heard it was Brighton and a swap with Murray, Gallen told several people on the way back from Preston.CafcSCP said:
Has to be from the championship, cos Taylor isn’t going to drop a league.paulie8290 said:So who do we think this player was that was offered in exchange for Taylor
Doubt it’s a premier team.
It works for me if the 36 year old helps keep us up. The 29 year old may not be with us in August anyway.

I can just see how an inquiry to West Brom would go.MickeyBennett said:West Brom wonderkid Rakeem Harper is a loan target for the club's Championship rivals Leeds, Fulham, QPR and Charlton.

Gallen: “Slaven it’s Steve, given how we have a good relationship with you after the Leko and Field signings, we are interested in Harper”
Bilic: “Hi Steve, Oh you mean the Leko who is out for the season and Field who has been injured for a few months”
Gallen: “yes those 2, we are confident that our injury curse has gone”
Gallen: “Slaven, Slav......Slaven can you hear me? Slav it’s Steve Gallen......Slav, are you still there”
Bowyer - How did the Harper conversation go Steve? Yes, was very positive, think Slaven must have gone through a tunnel or something though. I’m sure he will call back. Just in case, who did you say was number 75 on our wish list? Did you say it was Andre Green?11 -

Don't knock our 'unique' medical department.

New technology to get our pitch nice and warm. Next time the crowd goes quiet during a bitterly cold match at The Valley, listen out for the shovelling below your feet.

Except he said “not always spending lots of money”. He didn’t say never spending lots of money.Braziliance said:
Panic over for me, he is going to raise the squads spirits by buying them the latest tech
Why is it a bad thing for ESI to focus on technology and development to solve our ridiculous injury list this season?
We’ve all said one of the reasons for injuries has been Roland wrecking our budgets. We now have someone willing to pay for the best specialists to come over and take a look at our setup.stoneroses19 said:

We’ve all said one of the reasons for injuries has been Roland wrecking our budgets. We now have someone willing to pay for the best specialists to come over and take a look at our setup.It's good to have a look at the medical dept and improve things. That's not saying the medical department is crap. Its good to always look to see how things can be improved. Also good to have a sufficient budget and not have to buy injury players in the first place and have a decent enough squad to be able to rest players.Contributory reasons to the injury crisis, is a small squad and not being able to rest players when needed, some of the quality players Charlton could afford on the Duchatelet budget, have an injury history and so cheaper. If with their quality and not having an injury history Charlton could have not afforded them. These players are a bit of a gamble as to whether they will hold up or not. All this a result of Duchatelet policy and a feature of Duchatelet's squads.It took a couple of seasons for Standard Liege to recover from Duchatelet, it is likely to be similar for Charlton. Hoping that ESI deeds matches up to their words & PR.There was some speculation on Bostock from Forest, Bostock earlier on in this thread. Bostock is not in the starting line up or subs bench today in Forest home game against Luton.5 -
Competition from others. He had a good game against us in the cup, but that was only his second start this season. This interview from 10 days ago sheds some light;Bedsaddick said:

Disagree. We need to bring in players who can take us to the next level next season, players who can improve the team and push us forward. No point getting in a player who can keep us up this season and be surplus to requirements next season. We need players who can do both.J BLOCK said:

Disagree, IMO we get players in who can keep us up, that’s it, we take stock in the summer, but right now we do whatever we can to stay up, that’s the number one priorityLargeAddick said:

Can we loan a third player from WBA?
I think there is a limit between teams during the season. Not sure if it is two or three.0 -

This. Any experienced league player has to be better than having a midfield of Vennings, Dempsey and Morgan. I agree we don't want to panic buy but I can't believe we haven't made more moves in the loan market to ensure we at least have a majority of senior players on the pitch.J BLOCK said:

Other than loans I can’t imagine there being many players we can sign who keep us up but won’t offer enough next season. To stay up we need players who improve the starting eleven, adding more squad players won’t be enough.J BLOCK said:
