Ritchie De Laet - CONFIRMED

[KevinGage]

Of course he's out for the whole season -it's us.

I expected at least one of our nine signings to cop it, and -though he doesn't look a bad player- in a uber cynical way, I'd sooner it be him than McCormack, Kodja or one of our very few midfield options.

[Clampy]

I didn't think he was needed when we signed him but I thought he was great the other night so it's a bit of a blow. Bacuna will be fine in his place though.

Thought it looked bad when he went down and was surprised to see him come back on. 

[PaulWinch again]

Unbelievable, I'm genuinely beginning to believe we're cursed. Get well soon Richie.

[AV82EC]

Thought it looked bad when he went down and was surprised to see him come back on.

Yep was amazed but his arm went straight up as he went down.

[Goldie.7]

Fuck sake!!!!

Looks like we'll have to bring back that heap of shit called Hutton.

Back to losing instead of drawing then.

 

[Risso]

Relax, Bacuna is perfectly fine as a right back st this level.

[brian green]

And he does have a nice smile.

[David_Nab]

Relax, Bacuna is perfectly fine as a right back st this level.

Indeed but he was on bench as MF cover so thats another body we are short there unless we move Hutton back into RB ..shudder

[brian green]

I sense a certain inevitability about the suggestion posted a couple of days ago, to whit, put Richards in midfield and tell him to run about a lot.  It is going to happen you know.  It is so mad and bad an idea the hobgoblins will make it happen.

Yes, I'm more sad for the bloke himself/annoyed at it happening to us again than worried about where it leaves our squad.

[PeterWithe]

Thought it looked bad when he went down and was surprised to see him come back on.

Yep was amazed but his arm went straight up as he went down.

Same here, I thought it was a stretcher job as soon as his hand went up.

[saunders_heroes]

What rotten news, I liked the look of him as well, especially his crosses. Our injury record these last few years has been just ridiculous. We're due a bit of luck soon.

[CT Villan]

Last season Amavi, this season De Laet...feel very sad for him.

Is it too late to sign NRC - a ready-made replacement at right-back

Put him in the middle of the M6 and tell him to run about  a lot.
