Varela Opp - santasabaggie - 02-10-2014
Is it me or am i being a tad naive,we sign a player with a known ongoing problem It may not be much,but now WBA are talking to his parent club Porto about treatment................................
RE: Varela Opp - wba_1996 - 02-10-2014
Im not being funny but there is no way we would be able to get a Champions League quality player if there wasnt a drawback, he has been on the pitch for an hour for the U21's and scored, and for about 20 mins in the cup in which he provided a sublime assist to send us through.
He has a niggling groin injury or a hernia that may need a minor operation, then we can get him fully fit and we have a player who is a class above anything we could have dreamed of when we first got promoted.

Well I hope he's okay sooner rather than later and the whole situation doesn't become another Sinclair where we think he is only a loan so doesn't get used

Apparently he has had a minor op on his groin today with Porto's blessing.
AI seems to think that he will be back in training as early as next week.
Perhaps we may soon get to see the guy play for us!

Great news, as I said before he will be a major boost to the squad in what is still the only area we are lacking in. Has the potential to be our best or one of our best players if he finds his form and fitness.
