I assume the fibers in the muscle give way and cause a tear that varys from minor to significant during the motion of kicking. :lulzturtle:

Fabianski did almost the same thing on Saturday, except it was his hip.
Ridenton has been given a weeks leave to pursue an opportunity overseas..
Probably one of Jowic's backup dancers..
Do you mean once he's back in 6-8 weeks he'll be injured for 2 more weeks?
Cause he looks like he is on non-weight bearing training still. So maybe 2 weeks till he's back on the grass jogging. Then 4-6 weeks to get some fitness and strength back into that leg.
I'll still be very shocked, given his age and severity of injury, if we see him play 90 mins this season. I'll be very happy if we do, but I'm not confident.
Hope Ridenton has a one way ticket...
They say a week is a long time in football, Lets hope it is the longest week of football ever.
Bloke is physically one of the biggest pussy cats in the A League with the ball, He will probably come back broken into two pieces.
I can't see him getting a contract in the championship given he isn't a guaranteed starter at the Jets. Came to the club with Merrick, now he is gone so appears to be Ridentons chances of regular football.
Furthermore why would we let him go on trial? The championship club either buys him or not I would think. Just another player missing when he should be training hard to win a spot for the weekend.
This isn't FIFA, this is the real world.
Our club wants to move on a visa spot. Tell players agent to go looking for deal. Club in championship sees marketing opportunities within NZ for player on low wages. Haven't seen him play much tho.
Give him 2 day trial (2 day flight recovery either side) with club to see where he sits amongst current group. If he isn't out of place, make offer to players agent for wages. If not, either request footage of player throughout rest of season or thank him and move on.
Also, yay.. our already wafer thin midfield is now thinner. ..what's the record for the earliest someone has won the wooden spoon during a season Jeterpool?
Thurgate isn't a CM, he'll be in one of the forward 4 positions from now on. Who the hell is Jack Simmons?? (I know who he is, but the kid is about 17/18 years old. He's about 2 seasons away from playing a key role in the HAL at CM)
So semi-fit Kanta, Sydney/City/Barca bound Ugabooga, Johnny K who is still needed at LB until we sign one, and Langlois who is meant to be a CB if I'm not mistaken.
Dats pretty thin if you ask me. Which I did...
He's never looked like an 8 whilst on the pitch. He only plays what's in front of him and loves to receive the ball facing his own goal. He's a 9/10 hybrid, and could be shunted out wide to do a job. Would need to change a hell of a lot of his game to play as an 8.
We have 1 fit No 8 if Ridenton leaves as well as 1 semi fit No 6 and 2 mediocre backups.
That's wafer thin considering CM is the most important part of any gameplan.
