Broken toe and out for a month?
Looks like Hall is back, Bekker might even get a few minutes... Can't bode well for Uruuti's service from midfield.
So Laba got injured?

I wouldn't mind seeing Morgan at LM and Elmer at LB occasionally as well. Either late in the game or if we move convey inside.
Seems overkill for a big toe.

That doesn't look like right. A leg cast for a broken toe? something smells fishy.
Manby Aparicio please. Perfect time to see how the kid gets on. We all know what we have in Hall and Russell. Platoon between Manny and Bekker
this is heartbreaking, nothing goes for this team
At this point in the season I'd be all for playing the kids as we're out of the playoff race but considering we have no draft pick this year the only one who benefits is Vancouver.
I haven't seen manny play much before other than a little bit of reserve action.... do you think he is ready for 1st team action?Originally Posted by BuSaPuNk
I had the same injury years ago, I had to wear a plaster cast.
Seems overkill for a big toe.
When they started to put it on just below my knee I reminded them that it was my big toe that was broken.
They replied it was to immobilize the ankle so to keep the toe up.
don't worry, boys...we have Jerem...never mind.
I'll get me coat.

Given the sinking feeling in my stomach and the muttered 'Oh Shit!' when I read the news, I suspect I know where my vote will go for Red Patch Player of the Year...
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
In all reality he probably isn't ready. However your not really going to get a chance to see him with a limited reserve leauge. The seasons pretty much a right off you know what you got in most of the guys start playing and evaluating guys that don't get alot of playing time. Perfect to get them into real leauge action and see where they are to set up what we should do going into next year.
So much for the team gelling before pre-season. Oh well.
It's only 4 to 6 weeks, that puts him back before the end of the season, given another 4 weeks to train.
Argh....... From August 11th:
He should ask the doctor to set it on an angle. The team desperately needs a free kick specialist who can bend it.
Thanks for the clarification. I broke both of the big bones below the leg and the plaster cast I had went to mid thigh, which is why it seemed like overkill to me.
I'd much rather they err on the side of caution.
I will miss watching Laba play, though, and I'd really wanted to see an increasing understanding between him and Urrutti before the end of the season.
Actually, I had high hopes of seeing Laba, Urrutti, Earnshaw and Koevermans take the field together once or twice.

Nelsen will never give up his pet position. He'll risk Hall's incompetence and Russell's red tackles before Manny or Bekker play off of Osorio.
To be fair neither Bekker or manny are described as DM, both are CM or CAM. If we are putting in a player to replace laba then hall and Russel are our only real options.
That's unfortunate. And if that is the case where is the oppurtinuty for any of these players coming through the draft or academy?
I think we need to see what we have with a full attack middle though. An see how it goes nothing to lose.
I broke my big toe falling down the stairs at Anfield. Stayed for the second half and walked it off. Pussy.
Never suggested otherwise.
Heavily implied.
Our depth is woeful. But playing an attacking 2 mids when the wide players are less then steller in defence (the best defensive wide player we have is Lambe) will create even more space between the back line and the midfield, causing us to break down in attack like we did against Columbus.
This isn't Football Manager.
Jeez, do you think he can play in 4 weeks?

Hey Chevy, some of us are eating breakfast here!

sorry about that, I changed the picture and it still looks gross. I broke my big toe once and it was horrible, worse than broken ribs playing hockey (I broke 6 doing that).
I guess you can get injured in practice....who woulda thunk it?

Should of had a friendly instead...
Just ask Stephen Frei.
It's very simple. If you are a DP and playing for Toronto you will get injured and be out for extended periods of time. Why should the pattern change just cause he is young?
On a serious note....sucks. One of the only bright spots on our season was Laba.
