Ernie Eskilsson Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Dreadful news. Taken 2 months to get to the bottom of why a 2 week injury wasn’t healing but sounds a very unusual injury - hard to estimate recovery time now so assume Levein’s 12 weeks is the minimum. Interesting comment also about today’s match - wants to recreate the intensity of the Aberdeen match so there’s no time to think, only to react!

GavK1012 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I get the feeling Soapy is destined to be blighted by injuries in his career, however you want to apportion the cause (cue Joe Bloggs on here shoutng me down)...his body cant seem to put together a calm, controlled, long run of games or months of competitive competition back to back at such a young age....it clearly is through no fault of his own, just luck, lack-off or otherwise... Similar to Naismith, it appears our bad luck and them not being physically reliable for us to plan around them being called upon, more often than not 🙁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gashauskis9 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Defo need to bring in cover now. Absolutely no way we can get to January with Berra and Dikamona as our only recognised central defenders. No cover at RB either and our LB cover is more injury prone than all of them put together. Said it on another thread, Hutton is available on a free. Bring him in at RB so Smith and Berra can pair up with Dikamona as cover and move Hickey back to LB. Would rather do that than bring in another CH where it will take a while to gel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect his career could be over even before it starts. Doom and gloom from me, hopefully I’m completely wrong. I agree. The type of injuries he’s suffered and the way he reacts to surgery/recovery time suggests to me that he doesn’t have the muscle and bone strength to have a long career. Feels like he’s been out for 3-4 months on average per season since we signed him. Not what you expect from a lad his age. Gutted for him.

I said this last season, there's a decent chance he'll spend most of his career with us now, and there's no way we'll get the kind of money we'd thought if he does go. Me, I'd be quite happy if he stayed in maroon, he's a smashing big lad and a great player at this level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully agree . Is this a good time for the club to tie the player( in this case Soapy) down on a new longer contract - player might be feeling some kind of gratitude to the club paying his wage , but probably not - it would also be security for the player whilst he recovers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hungry hippo Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I'd definitely bet that Souttar won't be at the club in 5 years. If it wasn't for this injury I think he'd be away next summer. Obviously not ideal for his career to have had 3 serious injuries at a young age but he recovered well previously and I'd hope for the same again.
