Dave Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~1559966,00.html Exclusive: Beye Sets Sights On Toon Return By Craig Hope HABIB Beye has told Newcastle United fans that he is itching to get back in action and help the Magpies continue their climb away from the top-flight trapdoor. The Senegal ace suffered ankle ligament damage during the 2-1 defeat at Wigan on Boxing Day following a reckless challenge from Latics midfielder Lee Cattermole. But, having now discarded his crutches and protective boot, Beye is stepping up his comeback bid at the club's North Tyneside headquarters. And while a first-team return may be at least eight weeks away, the former Marseille skipper is hopeful of lending his weight to United's survival cause for what could be a decisive final month of the season. "I've now started my recovery and I can do some work with my ankle on the bike and also some boxing," Habib told nufcTV in an exclusive interview. "I hope to be back training in about five weeks but I don't want to rush things because it was a bad injury. "I want to come back with a solid ankle so if I have to wait a little bit longer then so be it. "Myself and the Doc decided not to have surgery and he has done a great job with me and my ankle feels good." But Beye admits it was a difficult period in the New Year as he limped into training each day only to watch his team-mates head out to continue their preparations for the next match. "When you come into training on your crutches every day and you see your team-mates going out to training it's hard," he added. "But now I'm a part of the team because when you have crutches and you do nothing you think you are nothing! "It's good to have my boot off so I can come back into training and sweat a little bit. "I have to work hard and the hard work is still ahead of me, but I'm very happy to be back working towards playing again. "Three months out is a long time and I just can't wait to be back."

KaKa Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 It's really cool to see how much he is enjoying it at Newcastle as he was a bit sceptical about coming to the club if I remember correctly. All this despite the fact the team has been pretty crappy while he has been here too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I love Habib, Cattermole's up there with Solskjaer for this shit. Next time we play Wigan should be the next time Alan Smith pulls on a black and white shirt, fuck the points, let's just finish this despicable little bastard's career.

midds Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 It'll be nice to have him back. Beye, Coloccini, Bassong and Enrique are our best back 4 by miles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Great news. Our true captain. He should get it officially when Owen fucks off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 It'll be nice to have him back. Beye, Coloccini, Bassong and Enrique are our best back 4 by miles. Beye brings the rest of the back four up a level imo. He marshalls them, he's an outlet because he's so good on the ball and he'll pop up and do someone else's job if they get caught, usually with a ridiculously good tackle. Class act.

Guest timmy boy Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Without Beye and Martins we have looked a different side, picked up one win since there injury's I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole side looks more solid when he plays. I'd be very confident of staying up if that 4 manage to play the last 8 games together as a unit.

Dokko Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Will take him 4-5 games to get going, hardly worth it, in fact a liability if not 100% fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Love Habib. Sooner he's back the better. Fingers crossed he plays till 34-35, shame we hadn't got him sooner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Next season: Beye captain, Bassong vice-captain, then probably Nolan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the only time I could actually feel that it was worth paying to watch Smith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 We should have more songs for someone who is so popular at the club.

Got a good reason for taking the f***er out, Got a good reason for taking the f***er out, He was a Beye tripper, One bad tackle, yeah, It took him so long to come back, But he came back!
