Looks like he might be out injured for the opener against Barnsley, real shame, but is it time to forget about this fella.  He's like the walking wounded, excellent player when he's fully fit, but the problem, is when was he last 100% fit, he's becoming a bit of a liability.

yeah it does sound that way. And with us losing out on Smith King need to push hard to find his midfield hard man.

I think i agree with you JA.  It is a massive shame cause he does undoubtebly have the ability and i always think we look better when he is in the middle of the park for us cause of his composure etc, but as you say we never know if he is going to be fit.  He is the sort of player you could build your team around but that is just impossible at the mo.  Real shame.

Wasn't he also injury prone at pompey?

He's now going to miss out on the rest of pre-season, which means he's going to be behind from the off, once the season is underway - we all know how badly that can effect players' performances.  

This is bad news really, he is a class above really when fit, but I fear we've seen the best of him now, which is a real waste of his talent.

However you never know, he might bounce back well from this one.

yeah that's why we only offered him month to month contract at first - I think.  He's a fucking legend when he's in the middle playing well, but I hate to see him out there 70% fit like he was last year.

Migs is legend...injuries are too bad though, so can we afford anymore to keep him when we do need a bigger and fully fit squad? can we afford to have injury prone players?

Believe....

He'll have a fantastic season play 30+ games and pick up the player of the season award at the end of it...


*DV85's 3rd ever positive post*

he probably tries too hard in training :)  thats it stef, stop trying in training and you will be fine :D he is the master of the bleep test isnt he.... he probably pushes himself too much

He was going in hard at Aylesbury. Maybe King has told him and Whalley they both need to add steel if they want to play together in the midfield? Problem is his body simply isnt up to being a hard man. He can defend using good positions, but tough tackling is out of the question.  :(

Weve just got to hope.

Does any one know how much migs in on a week, I mean if its not much, then no probs keeping him, but if the injuries are proving to be holding him back for months on end, could it be time to cut our losses.

I hope not , I think he's great

I've forgotten about Dre :cry:

He is a class player, and the only reason we go thim was cos others weren't willing to take the risk.

He was class for us and was fine until he started getting injured.

Hopefully he can bounce back again and prove us all wrong!

I've always stuck up for him re: injuries but I'm a bit fed up with him now

I recon he'll be good for another contract, if we could get him to sign as a player/coach (coaching kids, and reserves perhaps) being paid a basic wage for that, and a pay-as-you-play deal thrown in.

He'll be a good coach someday, I'm sure of that.

Mr Ben! Legendary cartoon! :soapy tit wank:

This may work on real player, if not, sorry!

Just tried it and it didn't.

Anyway, http://www.tv-ark.com/   this site has all the themes from some classic kids programmes from years ago, just saw Rhubarb.

migs has done NOTHING for STFC.i would like 2c him gone 2b honest, hes always injured and when he eventually does play, hes not the best. Yes, he can pass the ball around and act as the  free role but hes not great. I say get rid of him, hes average, and we need some1 else whose fit 100% of the time of similar ability. STFC has not the £ 2 carry players who r predominately injured!!

errr - he's our best football player - fact!

seconded

migs has run through walls for this club, in most of last seasons programs the a to z section, nearly all the players interviewed said migs is the hardest trainer at the club, his crime is he cares (a rare breed i know) and pushes himself to hard. that is why he is injured and because of that we should stand behind him and not call for him to be released.
i would rather him in our team than against our team

thirded

and fourthed, my cat agrees too.

I thought that Migs was only out for another week or so, should be just about fit for the start of the season??

He is up with our best footballers but I'm not sure if he's our best, that could well be Gareth Whalley.

You what Migz has done MORE for STFC than any other current player. Infact add their contribution together times it by 10 and still not even close.

Stefani is the only player that cares for the club. FACT.

He has dodgy knees we all know that but STFC gave him a chance to play again, he didnt even know if he could we offered him a month to month deal and he did enough to earn a full contract. Did you see him when he got the contract running around the pitch against Luton in nothing but his underwear, the cub told the players not to give away their kit because it was new, did Migz care, did he fook he was just happy to be here(I expect the kit came out his wages)

He is indeed are best footballer (sixthed?!) and ALWAYS shows guts, determination, effort and desire WHICH HARDLY ANYONE ELSE DID last season.

He is always doing stuff around the club, visiting kids in hospitals, training with kids ALWAYS.

He is a decent down to earth bloke and will ALWAYS  stop and talk to the fans, isnt big headed isnt arrogant isnt always out on the piss. Tries his hardest in training, is really tough on himself and he pushes himself

and what he does that wins ultimate respect from me is HE IS ALWAYS THE LAST PLAYER OFF THE PITCH. SUPER DUPER MEGA FACT.

No matter how shit the performance, result his personal performances he ALWAYS goes out of his way to achknowledge the fans.

Yes but God makes him do it.

Top man....whatever his motivation.

I'm liking DV85's SUPER DUPER MEGA FACT :D

Despite all the good qualities of Migs, with which I agree, the fact is that even when fully fit he did not score enough from lots of chances. Very hesitant when close to goal and usually lost it or got blocked. Don't know why, as he has great technical ability. A serious weakness in my view which was very frustrating to watch.   :old:

Best passer of the ball weve had at the club for years.

  Wahey  :beers:  Normy's signed up.

Hate to admit it but I agree with everything DV85 has written there. I also think Migs will become an excellent coach. He has a fantastic attitude, a model professional and that rubs off on others.

No argument, he is a true pro.
