Reece James

Unlikely to work in all honesty but trying to convert him into a DM or even CB may be the only way he saves his career. Who knows if he'll be good enough for a top side in those positions but as a fullback he's more or less done I think.

The owners also have a genuine dilemma on their hands with him which for once I will have sympathy with them for. He earns 250k a week and its impossible to count on him. That's a problem and perhaps a problem they want to get rid of...

In hindsight, this was another mistake from Clearlake ... it was a far too generous contract for a player with a dodgy injury record, and an un-necessarily large increase on his previous deal.

Jackson, as you describe him is my choice to take into a trench and go hunting. 🙂 got to love a crazy attitude. Hope he starts dealing it out to defenders.

You might have a long wait. The way Dan Burn just eased him out of the way from reaching Gallagher's through ball doesn't inspire confidence. Drogba or Costa would have left Burn on his arse staring at the sky.

True. But exercising your physical strength and imposing that on opponents isn't age related. Look at Evan Ferguson, Halaand or Calvert-Lewin.

Tammy Abraham was exactly the same as Jackson.

Yes, maybe you're right. Still early for Jacko. He has the temperament to go toe to toe with defenders which is more than half the battle. 

 
sh*t to lose him for this long but I think surgery might be the only thing that could save his career with us, we can't carry on rehabbing him and he gets injured again within 3/4 games. Really hope it works out for him.

Was the only option left on the table. Now we just keep Reece in our prayers and hope he comes back stronger.

 
Good for him. I’m sure it was a tough decision but ultimately it should benefit him long term. 
 

Definitely need a someone in January now. 

 
I wouldn't mind if he misses the rest of the season, it's not like we have any chance of reaching top 6 anyway so I really hope that for once nobody rushes him back.

The only one rushing him back will be James himself. He has already missed the WC, and no longer a dead cert with Southgate.

 
Hopefully surgery gets everything cleared up. I’d rather lose reece for an extended period of time than continue to see him and the club down the path they’ve been down. 
 

im gutted for him needing surgery, but ya repeat of what I just said, hopefully it clears it all up. 

 
Ryan Giggs had tremendous problems with his hamstrings early in his career. Different diet, training regime and yoga gave the longevity in his career after he had considered retiring early. Fingers crossed Reece similarly can overcome this problem.

 
If Reece has the same issue in both hamstrings will he need this same surgery in the other one I wonder? Or did they do both in this surgery?

 
Annoyingly a lot of the hate and negativity he's talking about is from our own fans including a fair few people on here.

If people are abusing a player for getting injured .. I don’t know what to say. We as humans are good at creating tools and terrible at using them. Social media is the best example .. it was meant to bring people together and connect them.. and all we use it for is to abuse / bully /harass / con / even initiate genocides .. I made a decision not to be on such hate spewing platforms 8 years ago .. and I am glad for it.

Let's hope so. One of Reece's advantages as a player is his frame but I think it would be beneficial to his problems to be a bit leaner.

This is the myth though isn't it ? He ain't exactly fat LOL. You can see his abs, plus plenty of vascularity ...

Best of luck to him in his recuperation. I think the things Charierre mentioned a few posts back will be key ...
