| At a push I'd go with Dawson on the wing for a season. He's by no means slow. And to be fair to the lad, he's never had sufficient opportunity in a fixed position to develop any kind of confidence.
The club must have seen something in him or else they wouldn't have purchased. No use buying a player and then not giving him a chance.
Besides, I like the fact that he's put on a few pounds. He was very slight in frame last season. And wing really isn't a priority position. The Aussies proved that years ago. Provided you have someone who does what's necessary - it's ok.

What is the injury? It's hard to see how they would know that at this stage?

Same knee and its a serious injury. Won't see him this year that's for sure.

| The very nature of cruciate ligament repairs makes it extraordinarily difficult for any player to overcome successive injuries to the same joint.
Bear in mind that in the lead up to Paul Gascoigne's injury in the 1991 FA Cup Final and subsequent semi-experimental ACL treatment (via Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt, I think) a cruciate rupture was a career ending certainty.
Brian Clough, who was an extraordinarily lethal striker before he became arguably the greatest football manager this country has produced, is one of the most noteworthy victims of a ruptured cruciate.
Treatments have moved on significantly since Gascoigne's semi-successful ligament graft. But even cutting edge medicine still cannot return a badly damaged knee ligament to a hundred percent of its former functionality. Whilst the load strength of the new grafts are now superior to the original ligament - joint flexibility and elasticity is still an issue.
I figured Johnny's footwork might take a bit of a hit after his first injury and after watching his return he indeed seemed heavy footed and less able to change direction quickly. My guess is a second injury will degrade his performance less cumulatively than exponentially.
I hope I'm wrong because Lomax is a damned good player when fit.

I wasn't adamant to begin with, i merely told everyone what I'd been told by a usually reliable source.
If he does great, if he doesn't then we move on.

This was your post
That's a fairly definitive statement at the bottom.
A few people told you that you were wrong, the club made a statement and yet you still chose to post this afterwards
It's quite clear that you thrive on spreading these rumours. Personally I don't see the point seeing as you obviously have a "reliable source." Any source claiming to be reliable would not be telling folk that Walsh will never play for Saints again.
So grow up and stop making things up to get attention.

If said source does actually exist, he/she is about as reliable as public transport in the snow.

Get ready to be holding your hands up. A retired friend of mine with loads of time on his hands takes his dog for a walk up to the Saints training ground and he tells me he's seen Walsh in full training and looking good.
