Earning his stripes: Timothy Weah at Juventus

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but Canada's Johnathan David is probably signing with Lille if Gent don't stand in the way of the deal. The club made a pretty substantial offer for him (€25m), and David has already said he wants to join the club, but apparently Gent are holding out for more money (€30m).

Good to see Tim out there -- even if in a six-second clip.

He was moving fine there.

 

how tall did he seem tho

 

with or without the hair? compared to mckennie?













*ducks*

 

Could we say as tall as the orange poles? Man, I hope those are 6 footers.

 

For anyone interested, skip to 10:35 to hear him speak about his injury struggles.

Apparently he tore his hamstring 3 times, and didn't get surgery on it until the 3rd time.

 

Well that was a mistake on his part and yet I feel much better that he finally got the surgery and not had it rip twice over after being fixed. Hopefully the repair does it's job and he's good to go when France starts up.

 

You're expecting a teenager to know if he should or shouldn't get surgery? That's not his mistake. That's a mistake from his representation and advisors - assuming that was even a mistake in the first place.

 

That’s good to see!

 

Really want Tim back and at 100%. I know the odds are against, but really pulling for him.

Damn he's a beast

 

Did Tim ever play against him in Scotland?

 

Tim was an unused sub in the one match he was on Celtic for against Rangers

 

Tenorio - ‘I’m going to conquer it’: Timothy Weah’s goals remain after a year of injuries

Prognosis on the hamstring:

Berhalter comments:

https://theathletic.com/1960517/202...-weahs-goals-remain-after-a-year-of-injuries/

 

I don't want to be too negative but IMO having a surgery on the hamstring at his age does not bode well for his future fitness and explosiveness.

 

Is it better at this age or in 5 years?

 

It's bad that he's had so many hamstring injuries at his age, yes.

 

It just means he isn't going to get more explosive and that his degradation will happen sooner. He's likely got a good 5+ years IMO if the surgery and rehab went well.

 

It's actually a worse sign at such a young age when injuries are more rare. It could suggest that his muscles do not have what it takes for the professional level long term.

 

At least he would have had ages 20 - 25 without nasty injuries.. those are pretty prime years for a speedy attacker... I'd probably take those 5 years of high quality play.. careers are a crap shoot but I don't feel too strongly either way.

 

Great news!

Such a bad run of injuries for Weah... Just gotta hope they came in bunches and he is thru it now.
