Guest neesy111 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 From .cock NEWCASTLE United striker Mark Viduka has made a return to training following his Achilles lay-off. The Aussie ace has not played since the end of last season but was back in action at the club's Benton-based headquarters on Friday and could figure within the next few weeks. Magpie boss Joe Kinnear told nufcTV: "Mark is back in training today (Friday) which is good news. "He could be a very important player if he gets back to full fitness. Article continues>> "Hopefully we'll see him within the next few weeks." And official club photographer Ian Horrocks was there to capture the big Aussie in action ... i wonder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Meh. A great shame Viduka, really. I was well psyched when we signed him because he's quality. But he's like Dyer, Emre, Luque, Owen in the respect that we can constantly say "if this, if that..." when it's never gonna really work out. Even when he's back he's not gonna be a permanent fixture in the side, be it through form or (more likely) more injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobby_solano Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 as cynical as it sounds, i'll believe it when i see him set foot on the pitch again. much like the club buy out etc... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 He would be really useful, but as above I'll believe it when I see it. I've basically forgotten that him and Smith are Newcastle players. Only one of them I'd like to remember as well! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I bet Kinnear would like Smith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 would u put him ahead of shola, not at the moment tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 would u put him ahead of shola, not at the moment tbh No, but i wouldn't put Owen in ahead of Shola at the moment either. He's playing well and scoring goals. If Owen comes on and plays brilliantly against Wigan, notching atleast one, then i'd consider it. You pick your team on merit...

Rich Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I don't give a toss tbh. The fat bastard's class when he's fit, I'd say. Would have him over Shola anyday of the week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Libertine Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 good. still a very decent striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mucky01 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 he’s up for signing a new contract in a few weeks, and guess what – he’s back in a few weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he's class, but he misses virtually the entire season so what's the point? For us I mean...obviously for him it's great, he gets paid to watch Crocodile Dundee at home.

STM Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Make no mistake, our upturn in form last season was down to Viduka returning. Very good player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley17 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 A few weeks with Viduka means "at least a month" and then a further 3 months to get match fitness. I predict he'll slide on for 10 minutes at home to Liverpool (December 28th) and he'll have a reoccurance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I've gotten used to the idea that he'll probably never play for us again. Had completely forgotten about him, and Smith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Its like Owen at times, keeping them 2 fit is important. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
