Owen, Kewell, Ashton, Joe Cole, who else is missing?
Any way, will they ever be any good again, and will their clubs sell them because they are a liability injury-wise?
When a player has such a longterm injury, I can't see how teams can carry on with these players, or even hoping that they'll be decent again.
Of all these cases there have been only a handful that after a season-missing injury have come back to any form (Ronaldo) or have become even better (Van Nistelrooy).
Nevermind that waiting all season for a player to come back sometime, somehow can influence the entire season of the team he's missing (Ashton and West Ham).
Where does the buck stop? Or do people think in terms of loyalty, hope and wishful thinking?
