    Pretty harsh. I'm all for not re signing him however at 24 I do hope he gets another gig elsewhere. Probably no starting in the A league. For a young person to have such crippling injuries is a massive test of mental strength. Something a lot of arm chair experts will never understand.

    For his sake, I hope he does retire. If he continues to **** his knee he wont live a fulfilling life after football.

    Not being harsh, being realistic.

    Maybe football, whether playing injured or not, is fulfilling to him? I know many people including myself who continue to play with ongoing injuries. This is a choice that we manage. The positives far outweigh the negatives of sitting wondering "what if"

    Sure, personal opinion.

    I would much rather be able to walk/run with my children when I retire. That option is probably getting slim for Kanta with the severity of his knee reconstructions..

    He gets paid great coin and would have better medical cover than you and i could ever have. I think he would be stupid not convince some chump of a club to resign him... which will definitely be us. I would put good money on us resigning him at season's end. Facebook fans will be overjoyed.
