Reece James

[All Barco no bite]

Do we have an option to recall Dujon?

Luckily there is the World Cup coming. He won't miss that many games. We are quite lost without him.

 

[axman2526]

Yeah we did not need to sign a competent back up for him like we did for Ben, we have Ruben and Raheem for that...lol...

 

[BluesPower]

Reece would have created a few more chance for us today, but doubtful we'd have converted them.

 

[axman2526]

Is odd the timing though eh? 3 games without Reece, 3 times we are poor and second best.

I hate to say this, but have a bad feeling James' injury may keep him out longer (i.e., doesn't make the WC, or does, but still requires surgery in new year)

 

[Mod]

I reckon he’ll be back for the 27th of December game!

 

[axman2526]

Seen it reported Southgate will be taking him to the world cup as his recovery is ahead of schedule.

What could possibly go wrong?

 

[Sconnie Blue]

Southgate and the FA pay your wages do they Reece?

So irresponsible this

I thought when this first happened, backed up by Reeces post, his priority would be too push himself to make the world cup and whatever consequences to his season be hanged.

I would like to see it built in to players contracts that, if they are injured playing for their national sides, they recieved a retainer of say 1% of their salary from the club until they are fit to play for their club again and they can seek the rest from the national FA, who should also pay for medical bills.

 

[Sconnie Blue]

If he isn’t fit club will say no.

I seem to remember something about clubs wing able to claim money either from the FA directly or through insurance if a player is injured on international duty. It still doesn’t make up for it having one of the best players in the country available mind.

They are not allowed to say no. Fifa would hit us with sanctions.

I meant the national side. If the medical team don’t pass him fit, he won’t go.

They took McGuire. They may take Reece if they feel he can play the knockout rounds.

Well said!
