Essien out for 'several months'

Yeah I do agree, it is a sign of inexperience from Scolari, but I'm sure he knows what he is doing. I'm sure there will be heavy recruitment in January.

Had a little look about the surgery Essien will go under. Though its key hole he will be up and walking the same day but wont be able to run and really stretch his knee for 7 months. And it take 8-12 months to fully recover

God dammit! Well I would rather him take months and months to recover so that we have him back feeling fresh and fighting fit than make him rush and damage him self further.

We will get through this. January we will buy someone and I a sure we can cope untill then.

We really dont need more expensive players, we have di santo and sinclair who are good enough to do a job. Tajera

can do a job behind the strikers too we dont need too spend.

He's a big strong lad so I think he will be back sooner than expected. Hopefully not to do more damage but healing and strength wise.

Be strong Michael and stay positive son, it's going to be a long hard haul to get back.

I noticed that Essiens International team mate Appiah has cancelled his contract and is available even though the window has closed. Arsenal and Pompey are apparently looking to bring him in, if so, why dont we go in for him ?

Not too sure what sort of midfielder he is, attacking, defensive or whatever, but hes a decent player and will definately add something to our thining midfield.

Call Scolari and let him know about it.
