When the new manager will be able to assess whether he wants him or not?

A midfield three of Baker/Laurent/Kilkenny looks pretty stodgy was well. Spoke to my Bournemouth mate today about Kilkenny, had nothing but praise about him but apparently a defensive midfielder he is not, says he's much better further up and would be wasted in such a role. Likes his Hollywood passes apparently. Charlie Adam Mk 2? Bring it on!

Our best player and a big loss But a midfield 3 of any of Thompson/Kilkenny/baker/Laurent ain't to bad tbh and on paper looks better more balanced than it's been in a good while

Powell's absence gives MON the opportunity to mould a new-look midfield. Whatever the system, .. 442 or 253 or 433 ..... MON still has Thompson, Baker, Laurent, Kilkenny, D'Margio and McCarron at hand. I suspect MON already realised long ago that he cannot build a team around, or depend totally, on Powell.

Why do you hate him, out of interest? I just don’t get it. Nobody we have contributes more creatively. We’re a much poorer team without him.

Powell definitely our best player but I’m hoping Kilkenny will be able to fill the gap left when Nick is out. To me that midfield looks a fair bit stronger than the one we finished with last season

We’re desperate for some creativity in the final third in addition to a target man.

We need to be looking for a replacement for him this summer and look at Powell as a luxury we may get intermittently during the season. He can't be relied on any more sadly. 100%…you just knew he’d get injured pre season…personally I’d be looking to sell him…he cannot be relied on I’m sad to say. I've been shot down by others for saying the same 3 months ago

We’re desperate for some creativity in the final third in addition to a target man. Powell obviously more of a goal threat and far better in the air but from what I’ve seen of Kilkenny he looks to get the ball forward quickly and can pick out decent passes. I think he’d provide great service to a fit Campbell

A good many on here thought we should build a team around Powell, the only team we should build around him is a medical one 😂😂 Absolute joke of a comment. He is a player to build a championship team around, if you think there is a better player in the league in his position in this league then god help you. He has been injured last season with a broken fucking leg as has been stated hundreds of times and is injured now it happens.

Maybe watching football isn't really for you. You've had a hard on for Powell for ages, always defending his injury record. So now we're unlikely to see him before December, you tell other people that they shouldn't be watching football if they dare to say a bad word about his fitness, not ability.

2 months or 8 weeks ,, so it’s not a serious injury, we do need him obviously but I did say previously he will be fine meaning not serious ,, but was told I gobbing off and I was new to forum and didn’t have many posts , so those that have 150,000 posts know everything and are never wrong .

Not out with a serious acl though is he know all He’s injured his knee and is out for 2 months. You said he’d be fine. He’s not fine. Far from it.
