It's just my opinion that if I was looking for a reliable fit right back and knowing his history then I'd look elsewhere

It's not about 'that's the spirit' at all. With the knee trouble he's had he'll be crocked more than he plays if signed.


But it’s so out of character for you to look for a negative in anything ?

Seems a long drawn out process to get Joe injuries right , then comes along another operation.

I leave it to NC judgement and is medical team .

Because he did his ACL... and badly... Its not a quick fix for most people that suffer from it.

It was a career ending injury until recently.. Cant really think of player who's done it and been the same after it... George Thorne was the best midfielder in the championship with a premier league and England career in-front of him until he did his knee.

I liked him at right back, very steady and can defend... I think people often think a full back is crap because they're not attacking, then complain the likes of gordon cant defend :?

Wasn't a full back a centre half that is too short to be a centre back? I'm sure someone said that
