[Albion] Matt O Riley [26/08/24 - sings on a 5-year deal]

[brighton_tom]

This year, or the season?!

“Latter part of the year”.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Tony says on official podcast that Matt’s operation is done, it was successful, and looking forward to seeing him back in the latter part of the year.

And did he mentioned whether he sent the medical bill for the operation to Crawley to be paid in full?

 

[Shaktarman]

Sounds like 3 months is about right then give or take x weeks. Could have been worse.

 

[El Turi]

Sky sports reckon 8-12 weeks so hopefully it won’t be as bad as first thought.

 

[Eric the meek]

That's got to be good news. Round of applause to all those who said 3 months.

Excellent. I'm reiterating my guess that he will be involved with the squad by the Bournemouth match after the third international break and I expect a prize if correct.

winner off the bench at selhurst for his first goal

 

[Milano]

I'm still gutted/angry at this one. TB is so measured, I would have been all for tearing up the WSL contract with Crawley and black listing them for loans etc, probably why he's a billionaire and I'm not!!

I hope he’s back before April!

 

[Eric the meek]

When he makes his second debut for us, it will be like having a new player, or one that's only played 6 minutes for us.

(There's no harm in stating the obvious occasionally).

Thanks Tom I thought it was easy to understand 1st time

I tend to treat our club estimates of return dates like I do estimates on timeframes from builders. At least double it, and maybe more than that. For some reason always seems to take longer than anticipated!

Is that because they are normally off doing another job somewhere else?

In the Internationals case, yes.

Crawley don't own their Stadium so would have no impact on them if we did.

Someone mentioned they have debt of around £6 million - can anyone confirm?

 

[Flounce]

Happy to one of the few on here who did not want them to win the playoffs, stain on Sussex club.

The fact that I was wrong about them refusing to let us play at their stadium during the dark years is irrelevant, they are just wrong uns

I’d rather support Palace than them

Great news. Often I open these player threads when they're injured with trepidation that they've got worse. Here it looks better than I feared.

 

[London Irish]

Three months is pretty good news, 8 weeks even better. Hopefully quick recovery as his injury record is very good
