This is just rumour at the moment but from a secure source - Mellor`s bang on the knee is worse than first thought and he could be out for a significant amount of time.
Be aware this is not yet official

"Secure source"? Have you been watching Spooks again?!
Well, why don't you abseil down the training ground wall and find out more?

PS did say he was having it looked at this week. He thought it wasn't the same injury as before but hopefully this isn't the result of the consultancy.

I have a feeling it may have been Mellor going to Oswestry today that PS mentioned.

Re: Mellor

TBH Mellor seems like one of them players, they get a serious injury and unfortuanatly never truly recover from it. Hope i'll wrong for the club and the player's sake but thats the way it seems.
 
Re: Mellor

Simpson said he took a gamble on him, if he had played a number of games for Liverpool reserves he would have had to pay a lot more for him.

If might have done well and other clubs would have come sniffing around him.
 
Re: Mellor

Indeed it was a gamble and even if it doesn't pay off - i.e. Mellor never gets fit enough to play much, you can't blame them for having a go.

I will admit to having a bad feeling though. I think he'll turn out to be another Callum. Great when on the pitch and worthy of a place in the first 11 but spends the majority of the time on the physio table.

Hope I'm wrong (about the injury bit)

The cost of signing him plus the cost of wages paid while not performing, and lets be clear if he is not fit to play for us he would not have been fit to play for his last club so have we taken an expensive gamble, I personaly do not think many clubs would have been after him at the end of January, I also feel that we may have been a bit too keen and not considered the wages bill especially as we are still paying a man to sit on a rolling contract that could go on for ever more, Is this the reason we are so desperate to bring more spectators in on match days, when the club are paying so much wasted money out. I do not feel we can afford to gamble on a players future ability to play. What we do need is a fit player to play now.

Re: Mellor

Simmo says in today's LEP:

""We don't think it is connected to the problem he had when he came to the club, but Steve Kemp, our physio, is getting it checked out this week.

"He played in the reserves a couple of weeks ago and, for 45 minutes, he looked a lot sharper.

"But then he got smashed in his right knee, and that has caused a little bit of a problem."
