Player Fitness

[baggie93]

With 15 games to go....the current injuries...the league position etc..i find it odd that we sign someone that isnt up to speed fitness wise , to play(kid from Palace)..let alone 0 minutes playing time.Wouldnt we want someone thats at least fit to play and can go straight into the squad.
Or is this just the best we can get in our current situation.
I realise the financial.situation but all the same...someone not up to speed fitness wise ?

I fail to see how a player can be that unfit that they couldn't manage 30 minutes playing time. Even just training keeps them at a certain level of fitness. Especially now, with how the benches are loaded, it's no risk to put someone on there who can't manage half an hour.

Where has it been said that he's not fit enough to play?

Especially if they're a top level banter merchant and good for morale.

I had read that Ramsey had said he "wasnt up to speed to be in the squad to play yet"
Now i know you cant believe half of what you read today , but it seemed to be backed up by the fact he wasnt in the squad saturday.

That's not fitness he's talking about imo.

The lad has never played a senior match.

OK thanks. Like you say, there's no point bringing players in who can't immediately contribute.

Yep..true
Thats another bloody reason not to sign him
I may be being unfair..he could save us..but im sure you get my drift.
Never played..and unfit. Bloody marvellous.
