One slight positive is that the LT are reporting a replacement for Best would be sanctioned if he was out for a significant period. That would mean two more strikers to come in. Desperately need a target man up there.

We'll have more strikers than British Airways soon.

Strikers win football matches. Without Best, we've only got one decent striker left in Nuno Gomes. Goodwillie is not good enough, Edhino is too young to expect anything from him next season, players like Formica, Rochina, Dunn are not out and out strikers.

Yes Rochina, like Goodwillie is one of those really disappointing and frustrating strikers where he'll score a goal then the manager won't play him the next match.

Bloody rubbish.

Anyone know if Bests previous cruciate and medial ligament problems were to the same knee? With the other stuff he's had he is somewhat injury prone. He is s big lad so his knees are bearing some load - we better stock up on a couple of decent strikers quick.

Hope you are correct but suggest that this may be wishful thinking.

Would be amazed if correct - Eric Black "“It is hard to say. Obviously he got a bit of a fright because his knee seems to have moved".

If his knees has "moved", there will be, at 'best', some injury to his medial ligament and probably torn cartilage. If this is the case, you are looking at between 2 to 3 months.

As somebody else has said, he's a big stocky lad, so he's naturally going to be putting his knees under extreme pressure on the football field. Hopefully the injuries not as bad as first feared, but i'd be surprised if he came back as the same player if it is indeed months rather than weeks given that it'd be his second serious knee problem.

RVR - it was his right knee at Newcastle, which one was it this time?

6 months at least according to LET.

F***

I can't see Venkys wanting to splash out decent cash on a replacement and as I said above, I can't see him coming back as the same player either. My housemate had that injury and he lost a yard and more.

As well as being completely inept Kean is also bloody unlucky.

Not a good combo

Luckily for Best that he managed to get a bumper contract before this happened. Still at least it gives the guys in the treatment room something to do after Vinces departure

Big, big blow. I'd be surprised if he played any part of next season, they won't want to rush him back from that kind of injury, Now have to splash out on another 2 strikers. How big a blow Best's injury is depends on who we sign - need a hold up player now as well as a Cox type player. I wouldn't be surprised if they went in for Santa Cruz.

Unbelievable. Bloody unbelievable.

Well, the chicken pluckers will have to dig deep. Simple as that.

Good luck with the recovery, Leon.
