Seems like just what we needed, we're crying out for an actual signing and not a loan one. Experienced in midfield. Defensive midfielder. This could be the catalyst for our season. Buzzing on this one. Quote moonwalk19 ''Don’t bank on it. Only played 10 games last season for Ipswich due a serious injury'' |

I’m sure he is fully recovered. Not up to speed for sure so don’t expect to see much of him just yet. Would have been nice to get him a tad earlier for a short run out against Arsenal kids. A bit part player for now. |

You would certainly hope not but we do have some unfortunate recent history in that regard!🤔🫤 |

Let’s hope he’ll be that important cog in midfield we need.. if he stays fit Really hope so. With Moncur getting plenty of game time, putting in a shift and getting rave reviews again from Shrimper fans we have a huge and largely self inflicted gap to fill. I hope our new signing does well. As a midfielder he has big boots to fill. No pressure then. But his CV looks good. |

Buzzing on this one. Exactly how I felt. I'm ignoring the stuff about knees. Mine are fine and never trouble me when I've been in the garden all day. If I've got an ache then a glass of decent red sorts it out. Maybe these players should take a leaf (pun not intended) out of my book. |

This is a good signing and will help to galvanise the team and dressing room. I wouldn’t worry about his knee, a meniscus injury is very common in football and there’s no reason to worry about it. Think back to the 80’s and everyone seemed to have a cartilage injury and operation, now you don’t hear about them, today it’s mostly ACL etc. Here’s a blog on this injury, it’s quite good actually. thefootballphysio.co.uk/meniscus-injuries-in-football-players/Back to football matters. He reads like a young Prats, he sounds like a winner and has the medals to prove it. McKenna spoke to well of him and their fans forum say we’ve a cracking player on our hands. This is going to be a good bit of business and a solid no nonsense type of player. I hope he’s fit to hit the ground running. |

Thing is that unlike muscles, ligaments etc, cartilages never repair or heal themselves over time. The surgeons can trim the tear to try and prevent the knee locking or giving way and thats about it and long term leads to bone on bone knee joint and quote ''Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage that cushions the ends of bones in your joints gradually deteriorates. Cartilage is a firm, slippery tissue that enables nearly frictionless joint motion. Eventually, if the cartilage wears down completely, bone will rub on bone.if the cartilage'' In the article you uploaded there were many types of cartilage tears, I know I fell over and twisted my left knee whilst carrying a heavy flat pack in a freak accident in around 2001 and I knew it was bad one straight away, the knee swelled up and very painful etc. My company had private medical insurance cover and I saw the same top knee specialist who performed the ACL knee operation on Paul Gascoigne, Mr John Browett, the Harley street surgeon at the Princess Grace hospital. He found that I had ripped half the cartilage and despite removing the damaged part of the cartilage, the knee has never fully recovered, just my bad luck again. I have been informed a few times that I need knee replacement on it. Well after just having the right knee replaced I dont think so, I shall just keep as I am for as long as possible, no more active sports again, apart from perhaps table tennis !! Lastly the very fine English cricket captain, Michael Vaughan suffered many knee cartilage problems at different points during his career and eventually had to retire despite many operations on his knee.

have you had a look into stem cell injections into your knee? Whilst the technology is quite new, it might be worth you doing a bit of further research as it may or may not work for you. It's certainly worth looking into further if to just to discount it. www.midlandkneeprotectclinic.co.uk/treatments/stem-cell-treatment-for-kneesI appreciate this is a private treatment, again it may be available on the NHS? If you have private health cover it may cover you? Again a bit of research may help to alleviate your symptoms. |

I have not got private health cover anymore since retiring from work and this treatment is not yet available on the NHS. I have spoken to my knee surgeons in the past about various knee treatments and told that my left knee cartilage damage is too extensive for any treatment like this. Treatment like this is more helpful for younger patients with small amount of cartilage tear or wear. Thanks for the thought anyway. |

As a midfielder he has big boots to fill. No pressure then. But his CV looks good. Hi dohnut, that is a very good comment.
Moncur and Ball are completely different types of player. Moncur is a skillful attacking midfield player, Ball is a defensive midfielder with injury problems with his knee, so played just a few games over the last two seasons. I think it proves that Moncur was up to playing at least a good few minutes in each game so would seem to me that for whatever reason, it was decided to move him on, do not suppose we shall ever know the reasons behind it all. At the present we have defenders and defensive midfielders in plenty. Just the one attacking midfielder in Galbraith and no centre forward two fit forwards, including Kelman who still has to prove that he can match the amount of goals scored by Ruel in the last few seasons. Also no replacement for Forde and the other two wingers injured with Theo out for most likely most of this season. Main problems at present is the goal keeping position and lack of goals being scored. Seasons prospects not looking good at present, let us all hope things pick up soon ! |

Let’s hope he’ll be that important cog in midfield we need.. if he stays fit I made the point earlier on in this thread that by signing Dominic Ball it potentially raises a bit of a question about the status of Lewis Warrington in the squad. On reflection I think it also highlights the folly of giving Darren Pratley another 12 month deal. |

I really hope he provides the skills and experience we desperately need in midfield. Moreover the leadership on the field we so sadly lack in that area. On paper this looks like an excellent signing and if all goes well one that lasts longer than one season.
And at last we have signed a player that fits the profile of what RW has been asking for, for some time. Have to wonder if behind the scenes discussions have led to this. Especially with most of the season still to come.
Have to say my confidence in the squad has increased. Look forward to him getting match fit and playing.
