Luka …

Does anyone know what the current situation is with our former captain please?

 


Bring back Brolin

Was injured (per Injury Room) but should be back for our next game.

 


Enjoying getting up later and not having someone who knows better than me (apart from the missus of course).

? Don't think so. PV made it clear he was unavailable for personal reasons (which is assumed to have been the death of his father). I think he's back in training so should be available for the Spurs game.

Thanks to you both for the info

Well, Doombear got it spot on & he was pictured on the clubs website training at Beckenham along with the rest of the squad, last week. Whether he gets picked or is on the bench for our next game will be down to PV.

 


This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Shouldn't get straight back in imo. Was dreadful last season.

 

dreamwaverider Flag London 31 Aug 21 4.59pm

At 30 he is one of our older players whereas last season at 29 he was a spring chicken!!!
What one year does.

His father passed away and because of Covid protocals it was more than just "popping" back home to sort out family affairs. He is back now and in training.

 


I am ready, are you? Sheffield here we come.

waterfordpal Flag 31 Aug 21 5.47pm

Good news to hear he is back training. Lets hope he is focused and ready to fight for his place.
He may have been disappointing last year but hopefully PV can sort him out and get him back to his best.
Also the competition should bring out the best in him - if not I think PV will be ruthless enough to move him and others out the door.

Glad to see he is back training. Just not sure if he will get back in the team now, especially given our new tactics. Passing is not one of his strong points and with competition for places in all areas I would think he is behind a few players. Will Hughes will also be pushing for a place too..

 


Some people are like Slinkies … not really good for anything, but you can’t help smiling when you see one tumble down the stairs.

Still captain until we hear otherwise.

Hopefully PV can get him back firing...because has more quality than any other midfielder when he's on song. Have definitely needed him in the last couple of games to add some steel.

Can't wait to see him back.

I'd be surprised if he sees the pitch with any regularity. He's lost significant pace over the past two or three seasons and has been not particularly sharp with the ball. Don't see how he makes it ahead of Gallagher and Hughes but that's just my opinion. I say all this while still being incredibly grateful for what he has contributed to the club. But if last season is any indication as to where his career is headed, we may want to think about sending him elsewhere during the next transfer window.

I think he will need a time machine to be a regular starter when the majority are fit.

 

The Dolphin Flag 01 Sep 21 6.44am

Luka likely to be available for the spurs game.
to me - he has always needed ball players around him so that he can do what he does best.
With Gallagher there maybe it might work - time will tell

Whereas last season he seemed to be backfiring.

With quicker personnel around him, he might be effective just sitting in front of back 3/4/5. Maybe pick the games he's used. Will have to displace Kouyate for regular time, but that could happen if there are injuries at the back.
If, buts and maybe's.
