Does anyone know how Olly is getting on, recovering from injury?

We seem to have almost forgotten him, yet he's been a top player for us since we bought him 6-7 years ago.
Also, I felt Lescott lost a bit of sparkle at times on Saturday - after all he is 33, and can't play flat-out all season.

Olsson's just had an op on his Achilles tendon, in Sweden or Holland or somewhere, I think. He's been putting it off for quite a while now, but it's come to head recently, so he and the club decided he should have it done.

Thanks, Aries. But why has he wasted 4 months before having it done? Is our Doctor not up to it?

I don't know if it was injury related but he lost alot of form before Lescott arrived...plus I don't know how his 'anger management' course is going (joking... )

[aries22]

I think he suffers from attitude problems from time to time, and he thinks he's better than he is, but when his attitude kicks in, he loses focus and then he loses form.

As I say, talkSAFT, I think Albion have been 'managing' his injury, but the time's obviously arrived when he couldn't play properly with it, and surgery was always the long-term solution, so they just bit the bullet and had it done.

He really hasn't been the same player for the last two years or so. Lost count of the number of times he's watched us concede and then basically shrugged it off.
