    Maybe not but sometimes it does with complicated fractures and even then you still have to fund the wages and medical bills, It is all about risk and weather you risk limited club funds and a player squad spot on your books with a player with known major injury records when there are lots of other options available

    Lee Angol had a broken ankle early in his career he has it pinned I believe

    Breaks are the easier of injuries if clean, players can miss a whole season with ligament damage especially Achilles injuries, In Angols case he has proved his injury is clear but it takes time, It is easy to spend money on injury prone players and then repent, Money can only be spent once, Why take the risk?

    I agree with that but to class a player injury prone on one season is wrong

    Going by the interview with Ryan Sparks I don’t think anything is imminent looks like they are going to wait and see how pre season goes and assess the situation

    Thats ok by me. 8/9 signed early doors. We can wait a few extra weeks for that other striker.

    It’s just bad luck, rather than a long term issue, I believe?

    2 seasons one after another, First at Leeds which took most of the season to recover then with ourselves the same taking nearly a full season

    If the club budgeted for 11.000 season ticket and we have at least another 1200 sold which should give us a bit of leeway for another Striker

    Ryan made that comment in his recent interview with regards our original budgeting of 11,000, as you say anything over that figure is a bonus and should show Stefan we Bradford City fans are still backing the club in large numbers.

    It is probably another £150,000+ in income or £3000per week for a good striker.
