Question.... after reading the bit in the newspaper; how fit is he??
You do not just get over what he has done that quickly and the knowledge that he has another op coming at the end of this season.

How oftern will we see him? :?

May be well short of 100%, but if available to good to miss out on, could be a start of next seasons planning as much as anything else.

i'm not entirely convinced.....read the article, injured for most of last season, and only 50-60% fit when he played.

Just don't see the point in this one i'm afraid, even if he is 'one for next season' :|

Looks like a promising signing, hopefully his injury problems are behind him (although thats questionable at the moment) lets hope he'll be able to do it for us on the green stuff! :)

It actually says he wasn't fit for 50 to 60 % of the matches he played in, not that he was 50 - 60 % fit.

Depends how you look at it. He wasn't fully fit for most games, yet still captained the champions from the league above us! He's obviously some player even when he's not fit!

He played 36 times for the Linnets in a Step 4 league last season. Given he captained them to the title it seems he coped pretty well.

Does raise a slight concern that he's had injury troubles and a on going Hip problem and given his age these things don't heal as quick. Having said that, captaining Lynn to the title and the send off from Setch shows he comes with decent credibility
