It would slightly bizarre if clubs didn't insure against injuries, if it was career ending it would wipe out the player-asset who could be worth tens of millions £.
But then I think at the same time players like Sarr and Deulofeu would have been told when they signed that if we go down we'll listen to offers for them. I'm assuming clauses would have been put into contracts to protect the club, but for players like Deulofeu it would have been meaningless because he'd be one of the first out the door if we went down.
Yes, so as I say, I doubt we will be able to sell or play GD which will create a hole in our finances esp if there's no relegation clause.
No idea, but I’d be surprised if an asset isn’t insured in some way, perhaps covering wages for extended or career ending injuries. IP insurance you or I can buy protects against injury and inability to earn, so imagine there is something similar. I’d also be surprised if there isn’t PMI: he’ll not go NHS and top private medical scans, operation, and rehab will run into mega bucks.
During the financial crisis post Vialli, Graham Simpson said that at the time they could only afford player salary insurance on 3 players, so I guess it exists and I imagine that now the club have most first team players' salaries insured.
So which players should the club deliberately injure so as to save on salaries ? Penaranda ? Holebas ?
So am I right in thinking there is the bizarre possibility we might have Geri back before we play our next game?
Is he in the country? Be our luck he is stuck in Spain having gone home (the op was in Spain I think ?)
You do get them in the UK. I know, but judging by that aircon unit on the wall, I think we can probably guess that he is in Spain.
Looks like he's eating a spring onion to me, recon he's on his allotment, and that's his shed in the background.
Interview with Geri en Español: https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/premier-league/20200703/482060608264/deulofeu-watford-premier-league-liverpool-guardiola-van-dijk-barcelona.html Oddly he doesn’t go on to mention a burning desire to play in the Championship. I imagine the interviewer ran out of time.
I'm not sure about that amigo. Might still be a trip to Brum. At least Deeney and Gray won't have to travel far for the away fixture.
Was he ever going to be ready to play this season? Be very lucky to have him for the start of next season (if we don't lose him), and that'd probably be without a pre-season
I’d bet December/January is a realistic return. Unless our medical team do their usual work mangling him even worse in the mean time.
You didn't miss much. Unlike Gray who fluffed every chance during g the kick about. Clean through and put it over the neighbours fence.
As @simpleMASH said. He has no I tentions of letting Watfords very own Dr Nick Rivera anywhere near him.
