Ruud Out For the Season!

I woke up this morning to some very bad news, and amongst my screaming profanity, I woke my girlfriend up which she didnt like. But, this bad news is that Ruud may be out for the remainder of the season after doctors detemined his knee problem would require surgery. This is what the official website had to say about the surgery:

”The estimated time he will be out is from six to nine months, depending on the recovery.”

”Following an exploratory arthroscopic operation on Wednesday, it was determined that Ruud van Nistelrooy had a partially torn meniscus in his right knee.

”Real Madrid’s medical staff, Dr Steadman and the player decided to surgically repair the damaged knee.”

Not good news at all, considering we have the waste-of-space Saviola as back up. We now have 4 fit strikers in the first team, with only Higuain being truely on form, although Raul’s hat trick against Irun means he has some assemblence of goal scoring shape. Alberto Bueno also scored, so we should so more of him this season, which is good because he deserves his chance. But, the question is, can we survive until the winter break when a temporary striker (or full time who know) can be brought in to alleviate the load? Early reports link us with Mario Gomez and Carlos Tevez, two decent options, but I think we will be fine until the break and look to sign someone really good, but we will see. Whats your opinion?
