    Love Lustig, but I have to agree. His injury record is horrific, and he played so many games last year he looked knackered for the latter stages of the season.

    Needs a long rest, not rushing back into games.

    I think some are going a bit over the top here to be honest. It's his first injury for quite a while after having made 46 appearances for us last season.

    I'm his biggest fan and aye he did play more games than the majority of the squad last season but it's a fact that can't be argued that he is injury prone and unreliable.

    We will more than likely have to buy a right back as Janko is still an unknown quantity and he himself has been unreliable into the bargain.

    I don't rate Janko at all. He looks clumsy. Darnell looks ok though.

    Hard to tell anything about Janko, only started about 5 games and 2 of them were after being out for about 6 months. Must have something bout him to be captain of Switzerlad U19 and U21s and be signed by Man Utd.

    The United fans were raging when we signed Janko, I think there's a lot more to him than we've seen.

    But still, we can't rely on him without knowing that firstly he's good enough and secondly he isn't Lustig MKII with injuries.

    He has picked up a lot of injuries in the past, but last season, he was arguably our most reliable player in terms of staying fit. We will probably need to bring in another right back I agree, but I think this time, the injury is getting blown out of proportion. It's his first injury he has picked up in months now, it happens.

    I would describe Janko as half-hearted looking, that may just be his style tho..

    Hasn't had enough starts to make an informed opinion either way..

    The right back position is beginning to look like Brendan's No.1 headache with Lustig so injury prone and unreliable and Janko still a bit of an unknown quantity and with injury problems himself.

    It would be very interesting to know Lustig injury statistics and time out, since he arrived here.

    Maybe ILoveTheCeltic can oblige with the facts and figures..

    For me it's him and Janko as the two RBs would loan out Fisher again and keep Ralston around the squad..

    Fisher has only got a year left on his contract though? If he's not being viewed as a challenger this season then I think he'll be off.

    I'd personally loan Ralston out for more experience, convert Lustig to CB and have Janko and Fisher battling it out for RB(Which I'm sure Janko would come out on top on).

    We'd be better off just selling Fisher. He's 22 now, if he was going to make it here he'd have done it by now.

    I don't rate Fisher at all.

    I'd punt him and let Ralston take the 'youth player' berth. 22 is no longer a young boy.

    Lustig, Janko and Ralston is sufficient enough. Even allowing for the concerns over injuries. I think Fisher will be allowed to leave.

    We might actually get Ralston some game time this season, from what I've heard he at least has the same love of a tackle as KT which is a good starting point.

    I was always impressed with Fisher when I watched him. Wasn't spectacular but wasn't a liability. That's why when Matthews left last summer I was surprised to see Janko brought in and Fisher loaned out, as I thought Fisher was ready to take a bigger role on and grab more minutes from Lustig. Gotta think he'll probably be off now Ralston and Janko looking sharp.

    Would prefer Fisher to leave and Ralston to get a full season on loan somewhere (Hibs?)

    Lustig is pretty injury prone and for a good spell last season could only give 60 mins a time - never a healthy sign.

    I'd hope for another signing tbh so that the pecking order would be Lustig/??? + Janko backup, wondering what Matthews is up to!
