Only thing to say is we were drip fed this news and although bad for us it's worse for Tariq, hope the operation is a complete success and his recovery is full over time, no need for any rush now, our perilous league position should not enter in to it, this young man has his full career ahead of him therefore no risks have or should be taken. Get well in your own time Tariq and hope to see you after full recovery, Good luck.

[Albion] Tariq Lamptey
- Thread starter lawros left foot
- Start date
As a lifelong football watcher, I’d assumed for many months that we wouldn’t really see TL play again this season. So this is no surprise to me.
Treatment now gives Tariq a very long rehab up to August.
Wishing Solly, AW and TL full and speedy recoveries.

tbh this is saddening, but not as dramatic an impcat to our season as the continued absence of Webster.
If he is out for the season too, I fear we will struggle to stay up.

This - completely expected this. Plenty of time now to recover for next season and v unlikely he'll be sold in the summer.
I think a lot of us read between the lines of recent news that he was out for the season.
Sad for him. An incalculable loss for our team. He’s become a match winner for us in many ways.
But thank goodness we bought Veltman. He’s going to be worth his weight in gold the rest of the season. One more crumb of comfort, Lamptey’s injury likely ends any transfer interest for now. I think we can now expect to see him play for us next season.

I think you just remember the long-term injuries and forget the ones where a player only misses a game or 2. I don't know the details, but I'd bet that every club in the league will have 2-3 regular senior players our for several months every season.

And I think Izzy's contract is up at the end of this season. Will they give him a new one?

Absolutely no chance whatsoever
Yeah he’s gone I think.
The club have given him a lot of time and money and a fighting chance. Unfortunately this is not a charity.

I would have thought not, but when he appears in the match-day squad - albeit as an unused sub - it makes me wonder what the plan is. If he was offered a new deal, I'm sure that it'd be a fraction of the wage he's currently on.

It depends on how fit he is and if this recovery can be sustained - i'm not sure the club will let him leave for nothing if he proves his fitness over next few weeks till the end of the season - i suspect they may offer him a 12 month deal? and also dependent on what division we're in next season

Please give Karbo a chance over the accident waiting to happen Burn. If we need to play Burn move him forward out of harms way where teams won't target him

If Lamptey is out for the season with this surgery then I dont see anyone coming in with a big bid in the summer. Who would drop £30/40million on a player who could be crocked? Silver lining, we may have him another season.

I think the total opposite to you.
Burn is been decent recently .. but he lacks the delivery to play LWB, so play him at the back.

I thought earlier in the season that we had a back 5 who not only looked excellent, but would only get better. I don't think it's coincidence that we have struggled since 3 of that starting back 5 have been out. As others have said, thank god for Veltman and we really need AW to recover quickly now..
