Not what we needed but demonstrates why we are getting as many players as we can in to cover for all eventualities.

Bugger. I still think we should give Mbe Soh a chance.
Right now, other than him the centre back options are Worrall, McKenna, Cook and Biancone. Not enough so we definitely need another quality defender in this window.

Out for months?

I wouldn't say he is pacy but he isn't slow.
He is a physical monster though, like properly massive.

Panzo recall? Bit early…

Why isn't Mbe Soh figuring in our plans, he didn't last year much

I really rate him from what I've seen. Maybe there is a sense with our team that he's too young and inexperienced to play at the back just yet.
But he's the same age as Saliba. Another great French defensive prospect. I'd give him a chance.

mbe soh needs to stay fit and have a year out on loan to show he can do it weekly
If we even have a recall clause, the rules say it couldn't be activated until January.

On that note, what’s the Henderson deal? Do we know about recall potential?

I bet he will be back for November.
Sure - but that's just in time to take six weeks off for the World Cup.
I'd guess that given the break is likely just around the corner, we won't rush anyone back beforehand especially not from a hamstring injury.

With the World Cup break we may even have Andy Reid back in time for the new year.

Real shame for Niakhate, as each game looked like he was winning on the learning curve. Hope he's not out too long.

So why doesn’t Coops seem to trust him?
It’s a serious question because as a rule Coops likes young players and there have been plenty of opportunities to put him in.
I worry there’s an attitude problem…

If Cooper didn’t trust him, he’d have been out of the club by now. He just trusts Cook more at this point probably.
I’d like to see him have a go at some point, I think he could step up.

Does anyone here know a thing or 2 about Hamstring injuries, I can't believe he was walking around fine and almost carried on yet is out for months, can they flare up really badly after? I really have no clue but to me, it is suprising

It's more about explosive movements - I've had issues with mine and I can walk fine, jog after a while and get to the point where you can run normally again in a straight line... start changing direction, or moving quickly from a standing start and it can ping again and put you back to square one. They're a huge pain in the arse to get right, though in Niakhate's case he will have access to top level physios, so while frustrating for him, he's in good hands.

Rush back too soon and he’ll be out for longer so best to wait even if it means longer off. On the plus sides:
Justifies our “over buying”
Will have two fresh and raring to do defenders in him and Richards

I tore mine many years ago. So so painful, I could hardly walk afterwards. Took 6 months + to heal and it was never the same again, I lost all the pace I had.
That said he'll have modern physios and top notch physiotherapy.....not like I had 20 years ago.

A Doctor writes:
Hamstring injuries are graded from 1 to 3:
Grade 1 & 2 are mild and require rest to recover from, ranging from a few days to 3 months depending on severity.
Grade 3 is a serious injury, and may well require surgery, and will take much longer for full recovery.
Walking is possible on grades 1 and 2, although there will be pain and restriction of movement.
Grade 3 would usually require crutches and no weight on the injured leg.
For professional sporsmen such as Premiership footballers, in the case of a grade 3 injury, the most effective treatment is to shoot the injured player.

Grade 1 treatment seems a bit odd.
