Two knee injuries in 2 years.Unless I have misremembered, isn't this one long injury and not a result of multiple?

Yeah as a wing back in Conte's system. As a two way wide forward he looked a completely different player in the few games he managed under Ange.It's amazing how far we came from people saying he was one of the worst ever signings. A hell of a lot of people seem to want to get rid of Solomon too on this thread. It's mad how quick people are to bin our new signings without giving them a fair crack.
Really odd take from some on his ability when he has hardly played.
Sessegnon has been here 5 years and still gets chances when deemed fit. There's no hurry if we think he's worth it, and given that we just signed him we presumably do.
Or maybe he was just in a new country, team, and league and it takes a while to get accustomed to it? Everyone else looked shit too but because he was a bit older people are quick to say he was finished. He struggled a bit but the criticism was ridiculously overblown.Yeah as a wing back in Conte's system.

Solomon's career has taken a different trajectory and he's taken to Premier League remarkably well. I just mean that if people can give Sess a chance despite not staying fit or showing much on the pitch in 5 years then surely we can give Solomon 2 years.I agree, we shouldn’t write players off, but Sessengon’s not a great example. He’s been here 5 years but he’s still a year younger than Solomon. You can see why we wanted to persevere with him, because he was still young. Whereas If Solomon is still here in 5 years time he’ll be nearly 30.
If Solomon can get fit, I would put him in the same category as Gill I think.
But is it the same injury re-occurring? Same knee? I genuinely don't know.Two knee injuries in 2 years.
Same injury, different kneesBut is it the same injury re-occurring? Same knee? I genuinely don't know.
Thank god he's only got 2.Same injury, different knees
Dunno what to make of this fella, looked decent when he did play but I doubt his ceiling is high enough to really be at the level we really want in terms of a starter and with the injuries I’d probably look for other options and get what we can for him. I’d be happily be wrong though and he gets fit and smashes the rest of the season
Being talked about in a lot of other threads but this one. I really can't tell if he we will still be here or not next season. Wild to think he played his last game for us in September, there is a small part of me that wonders if he won't make it onto the pitch again for us, unlikely i know but still. I thought he was back training but there hasn't been any sign of him in the vids, not unusual for us these days but makes you wonder none the less.
Personally i'm really struggling to see with his injury record any real convincing reason we should keep him which is a real shame as I still believe from a skill set point of view he would offer quite a bit but if he is permanently injured it sort of makes our decision for us. Not sure who would take a risk on buying him tho considering the amount of football he has missed over the last two season's. Even if he came back fit I wonder how much game time he will realistically get between now and the end of the season. Not a lot is my feeling. I can't see him coming on ahead of Werner for example. I also wonder if Ange would prefer to play Johnson there before Solomon now plus when Richy gets fit then Son might be getting minutes out left again.
Very curious to know what Ange's thoughts are on his future at the club. He was only just grasping the system supposedly when he got injured.
He's a strange one for me. I think if we're being honest most of us don't know anywhere near enough about this player to know if he's first team quality for us or not.Being talked about in a lot of other threads but this one.

That's basically where I am with it.I’m not sure whether he was ever a primary target or we decided to take a punt given the finances. Like, would we have been still been interested if we had to pay a proper transfer fee for him. That’s not to say the club doesn’t rate him, but the club buys different players for different reasons.
If Ange and his team do rate him as part of the first team plans, then maybe we will persevere with him for another season, assuming he can find some fitness again. But if he was a club punt, then you’d think we would be looking to move him on: maybe through a loan until he proves his fitness. Especially if we are keeping Werner.
