Jores Okore

[Louzie0]

Gutted about this, what is it with Danish defenders joining the Villa and getting a bad knee injury.

Possibly a Viking thing. All those years, sitting rowing, could have compromised their knees genetically, over time.

Granted, there are not many historical accounts of fierce horned helmeted raiders leaping on to the beach and hobbling up the promenade, but still.

Just a theory.

I like the theory. I like it a lot.

You think it has legs?

It does. Shame about the knees though.

Quality from a man called 'shin'.

If they did the rowing surely they'd be over here, not in Denmark?

We'll maybe they rowed all the way to the Ivory Coast. That would explain how we could link it back to Jores, as he was born and raised there until he was 3.

And that would leave your knees bollocksed.

Either way, it's knackered the knees, I agree.  My theory is looking good.

Probably what the Vikings said when they got back home to the Ivory Coast.
And the response.

FFS. Here we go again.

The path of Aston Villa seems perpetually strewn with cow pats from the devil's own satanic herd.

How do AC Ligaments go anyway?  If it was a nothing challenge then does it suggest that our old habit of doing crap medicals has returned again?  Just curious  if it is something that can suddenly happen.

We know Okore had MRI's as he fell asleep during them. The MRI would have shown up anything if he had a problem before he signed. If I remember correctly, he slid in so I assume his leg must have got stuck somehow, possibly under himself.

Ironically I was talking to a lad this morning who tore his ACL in April whilst playing football. He wasn't put in a cast at any point and was just on crutches for the first couple of weeks. He's not playing football yet but he's got an appointment coming up where he's expecting to be given the all-clear. A professional footballer will get more attention than someone like him so 9 months seems rather excessive for a ACL. PCL's (Posterior Cruciate Ligaments) are normally that sort of timescale.

I've just had a look at possible free agents we can get in:

Anton Ferdinand, William Gallas, Titus Bramble...

[OCD]

More likely to see Donacien promoted.

Recognise this. Quote from that famous Viking, Leif Eriksson.

Not the explorer but the rancher on the 'High Chaparral', BBC 1967 - 71. God, these Vikings get around.

[ozzjim]

Gallas would not be the worst option in the world on a 12 month deal. Experience, leader and actually a decent defender. Might even organise Vlaar a bit.

[JUAN PABLO]

Vlaar IS a competent defender.

next to Okore , yes .

[Mazrim]

This is exactly why I thought we should have signed another centre half (and a playmaker). Sorry, none of our other options are particularly convincing. What shocking luck.

[olaftab]

I have it on good authority that problem is due to overeating of streaky Danish bacon and drinking Carlsberg. This combination results in probably the most vulnerable  knees  in the world!
