Hes an inconsistent injury prone player, who thinks hes alot better than he is... On his day he can be brilliant, but hes not on his day enough...

Buckley out for four weeks
- Thread starter El Presidente

It's getting like Andy Carroll at West Ham.

I hope the Buckles back with the secret of his frailness uncovered. He's dynamite for me and I love his combination of pace, trickery and deftness that powerbull Lualua and onefoot Conway don't have. I'll send an atheist prayer his way and hope that influences his well-being in 2014.
Really, what gives you that impression?

Buckley will never be the same player again.

I just remember the initial news report was that he was tipped for a September start which kept getting postponed.

Didn't we (reportedly) turn down a £5m offer for Buckers from Swansea last season?

If we did it was very bad business

Jesus, I thought all this was behind us when Malcolm "Shipman" Stuart was replaced.
I got a little bit titsy listening to similar comments on Roar.
It's only very bad business now, with hindsight.
Had Will played the whole season a la the Bolton game.
Not only would we be higher up the division, we'd also be fighting off offers double that.
At which point selling Will for ONLY £3-5m would look like very bad business indeed.

Just the opposite. Since our new German doctor arrived ( Herr Mengele ) injuries now seem to drag on and on. He is trying all sorts of new treatments and the building of our new de-toxification and cleansing room fills me with some suspicion. Apparently, he spent many years working in sports science and medicine in South America before we ' head-hunted ' him.

On a serious note, I think there could be a problem with his stride pattern/cadence. He often seems to be over-stretching when running. This is exaggerated by his push and run style, when he stops and then tries to push off with great speed. A few sessions with a top sprinting coach might help. Shorter strides and lower body position to start with.
Steven Gerrard has a similar problem with ' over-striding ' and spends a lot of time injured.

This makes sense. Particularly as we're supposed to be after someone called Goebel

He also had to have a hernia repair op when on loan to Sheff Utd.

I am sure the new doc is top of his profession, but last season wasn't he being given credit for the reduction in injuries?

Bloody Hell...there can't be much more left to happen to him...can there?
Buckley is crocked, I am convinced of it. He looks like he has been holding back for a while now, not really going at defenders like he did in his first season, yet Saturday he does go for it by all accounts I have seen, and ends up doing his hamstring. It sounds like he can't push his body past a certain point, and he knows it. Sadly, I suspect this will prevent him ever amounting to anymore than a Championship player
