Given our fingers have been burnt on Phillips and Cajuste I'm happy we've sat this one out. Once a player starts getting more niggling muscle injuries in their early 30s it's a slippery slope. |  | |  |

Agreed. We learnt the hard way last time so I'm all for playing the waiting game. The only issue is that we need at least two there which makes thing harder for us. |  | |  |

Yeah sorry I had written ‘days’ in my mind! Yeah that would have been funny, sorry. |  |

The injury was 3 weeks ago, so 5 weeks out. Not major, but not insignificant either. It also seems he's had calf / muscle issues throughout his career. This is just the past 18 months (without the current 5 week calf issue) 25/26 Muscle injury 24/08/2025 15/09/2025 23 days 24/25 Muscle injury 21/03/2025 21/04/2025 32 days 24/25 Muscle injury 12/02/2025 09/03/2025 26 days 24/25 Calf problems 28/01/2025 06/02/2025 10 days Broja anyone? I'm pleased we didn't roll this dice. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Exactly this. |  | |  |

A 30 something year old, who has played in a weaker league, with a recent injury history, shouldn't have been on our radar to begin with. |  |

And why not? We should always be on the look out for suitable and available players, and if it turns out they’re unsuitable, move on. We should (and I’m sure we have) always have a look at the experienced free agent pool. Leeds, Villa and Brighton have all checked out Morita in recent weeks, which tends to suggest there’s something about him. Shame about the injury record. So we looked, and made the prudent decision to move on. |  | |  |
