Somebody with a stats head should do an analysis. Are we disproportionately hit with long-term serious injuries/illness  to important players/big signings?

It seems to be way out of proportion with us. Off the top of my head

Nillis
Laursen
Kozak
Bent
Grealish
Ehiogu in 1998/99 being out for a time more or less derailed our season.

Edit: Gary Charles, Dion Dublin, and I recall Benteke getting a few bad ones too.

Curtis Davies ruptured his Achilles Tendon in March 2008 whilst on loan from West Brom. However, we still signed him permanently later that summer......He did a similar injury much later in his career with Derby County.

Watching Saturdays highlights you could see his confidence was growing and there is no doubt Gerrard sees him as a leader so this is a real blow to our aspirations

My non footballing mate has just played footy with him in Cyprus in a Dads v Kids game

He is currently part of a kids football camp in Limassol.   

My mate got all 'new holiday friends'  with him

He was ever so chuffed 

but I set him straight about the original Rat boy
