Not seen this mentioned anywhere, but I didn't realise Jhon Duran had been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in his knee, and had been "playing through pain at previous clubs" according to the Fenerbahce manager.  He was out for about two months getting diagnoses and some rehabilitation, but he's barely appeared since "returning from injury" at the end of October.

if the diagnosis is true, and him playing through pain while here is also true, then I think it might put a whole new spin on his Saudi move, our willingness to let him go, and his "make as much money as possible as quickly as possible" approach...

Assuming it's true, of course.

Yeah, it really does. Poor guy, he's got endless potential.

Probably, but it also just means pain management for some of it until it gets too bad. Players used to play without cartilege for their full career, (God for example), so it wouldn't neccesarily rule out any transfers, especially whilst he is still 22.

He's just been sent off in added time after coming on as a sub after an hour. Straight red.

I often said when he came on he'd either score or twat someone. Jhon's gonna Jhon.

Leon Bailey is back! Assisted for Roma's winner against our rivals at the top of the table, Walter Mittyland.

Maybe we'll meet him in the knock-outs.

I hate that red cards are given for a jead to head nuzzle. Opposing player goes down like a pansy. Jhon should have beat him up proper.
