How long is he expected to be out?

Depends what damage his done if its ankle ligaments could be out up to a month+ hopefully its just swollen

He played on with it for quite a spell so hoping he's OK.

So did Marney (for a little bit) when he did his cruciate the first time.

Get another striker in before the window shuts and it wont matter as he'll be our 5th best striker and can stay injured for as long as he likes

nothing too serious, he did some light training on his own this morning.

He's a Claret, he's hard.
Available for Wembley if selected.

Is this post for real?

Misses the Spurs game with ankle ligament injury...a very strange decision to allow him to continue for over half an hour, assuming early one was the one that did the damage

Who's Walter?

the guy who has scored more Premier League goals than all our other strikers combined?

What a quality individual Devils_Advocate is

Not sure what relevence how many historical goals Walters has scored as got to do with how he compares today with our other strikers?

I am sure i could name loads of strikers in the below leagues who have scored more then Barnes, Vokes and Wood but im sure you wouldnt be wanting us to bring them in as replacements for our current set

Also a bit over sensitive there elwa. I think we need another striker and if we get one I think we will have 4 striker better than Walters so therefore i am not worried about how long he will be out for. Whether I care or not causes no harm to anyone else so dont see what the problem is

I don't think so DA - Walters has been identified as a player who SD thinks can make a contribution to our season - hence he signed him. While I would love to see a quick tricky forward arrive, to wish one of our players injured... and by definition weaken SD's hand is not only lacks class but is also (assuming you are a Burnley fan) plain stupid.

I know Dyche rates him higher but i was giving my opinion which is that he is 4th best of what we have now and to get the balance right we need an Ings like player making him 5th best for me.

As for wishing him injured I did no such thing. I have no control of his injury and recovery but if we signed a new striker then Walters being injured wouldnt be that big a deal for me as i dont think he is a key player.

I would prefer all our players to be fully fit and injury free but there are some players injuries that would concenr me more than others and Walters isnt one of them
