Someone on here mentioned during the Harrogate game that he wasn't there for Covid reasons. However Chicken on the Examiner site stated he was absent from Southport for 'unspecified reasons'.
Will we ever see this guy in a town shirt?

Been one step forward two steps back since signing.
Homesick maybe?

Was thinking that myself. Young lad moving to a different country away from his friends and family. The pandemic would have compounded that even more.

Will we ever see this guy in a town shirt? It was mentioned on the Youth and Develoment Thread that the players affected in the academy outbreak have been set back a few weeks by it.
Particularly tough for Grant as he may well have avoided it had he not come back early for pre-season.

I’m sure the guy would love to play regular for such a magnificent club like Huddersfield Town.
In other words.. “I Danny, want to play”
However spoken in the drawl and accent of Paul O’Grady (Radio 2) these words could sound like “I Dinny want to play”
The same could be said of another Danny (Mr Ward) for all the few minutes he kicked a ball for Town last season...

The amount of anticipation for this player is getting ridiculous. He's gonna have to turn out to be like prime Ryan Giggs or people are gonna be disappointed. I want him to play and to be good too but the way people are talking are as if him not playing has confirmed relegation.
Is it crazy to think we need to just calm down, support him if and when he does play and see how he gets on?

You think he's going to shag his sister in law then start knocking lasses about 🤔, I hope not. |

Bit worrying really isn't it.
With the outbreak rates as they currently are, the amount of players isolating each match are going to be a huge increase on last season. But I'm also guessing players will have access to the daily contact tracing pilot to help reduce this.

Wasn't he one of the ones isolating for Covid? Not sure when that expires/d. No sign of him on the latest training video. I see m to recall him being regarded as the better of the 2 prospects out of him & Sorba Thomas. Assuming that where I heard that was an accurate source & given how well the man with the fabulous barnet has done so far it's frustrating that we've seen nothing from him yet. Injuries alone though mean I suspect that Sorba is going to be ahead of Grant even when he does return. |

Back to light training. Anyone who tested positive for Covid needed to go through extensive checks and X-rays of the heart etc before returning to light training for 2 weeks. Clubs much more cautious after the Eriksen incident, can’t blame them really. Fair play. But yeah, not ideal for the kid - has had 0 luck. |

As far as I'm aware Eriksen didn't have COVID, but he apparently did have a COVID jab a week before his collapse. Both Pfizer and Moderna have a stated side effect of myocarditis. I hope they are scanning all players after they've been jabbed.
From Wiki:
Myocarditis - Inflammation and damage of the heart muscle known as myocardium. Most commonly caused by a viral infection, but can also be an infection of bacteria, fungi, parasite or a reaction to a drug.

He didn't have the vaccine prior to collapse. |

Pretty sure the Inter Milan club doctor confirmed that Eriksen did not have a vaccine

( it’s selling a false tale to suit an opinion - dangerous) |

Where have you read that? Tbf a lot of media outlets ran that story after the event, but it was rubbished by the Internazionale director Guiseppe Marotta soon after who confirmed he'd not had Covid, nor had he had the vaccine yet. Typical gutter press. |

Fingers crossed.
In a sense I was a bit worried for him. A lot of wingers have suddenly sprung to the fore since we signed him. Sorba Thomas looks superb, Koroma would have walked POTS last year if he'd not been injured, Rowe looks a lot better than we thought he'd be, we've signed Aarons (who might still come good), Pat Jones in the youth side looks promising & we still have Mbenza on the books. In that sense he has a lot to do (even if he's fit) to get a first team berth.
On the other hand, the fact we have other options does give us chance to give players a run out knowing that they can be taken out of the limelight.
It's kind of like last season's goalkeeper situation in reverse. Whereas we had to play Schofield no matter how much he needed a break, we've got an embarrassment of riches in this lad's position.

Which only helps to show the dearth of riches we have in central midfield. Our recruitment is rather lopsided to say the least. |

Someone on here mentioned during the Harrogate game that he wasn't there for Covid reasons. However Chicken on the Examiner site stated he was absent from Southport for 'unspecified reasons'. Will we ever see this guy in a town shirt? Like many of our terribly thought through signings in recent times - probably not. |

True, it’s a big enough ask but FWIW, I think he’s better than Jones, Aarons. I think he’s on a par with Rowe and not far off Thomas. Only the set pieces would pick them apart for me. Koroma is top class. Mustn’t forget he was set to be called up to the senior Ireland squad after the Plymouth game in the FA Cup. Ahead of the likes of Ronan Curtis, Anthony Scully, Jamie McGrath etc |

Will we ever see this guy in a town shirt? Like many of our terribly thought through signings in recent times - probably not. Sorba Thomas and Danny Grant came in around the same time. Sure I saw somebody say that the latter was, if anything, seen as the brighter prospect. Sorba Thomas seems to have worked out so far. Why do you say that Grant had been "terribly thought through"? Or are you perhaps beating the club when it is already on its knees? |
