Disco Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I wouldn't have bothered playing him anyway like. No point. Get a proper pre-season under his belt and take it from there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 They should have said a long time ago he won't be risked this season. His comeback has been put back so many bloody times it's become tedious. He's only been pencilled in for Liverpool and Birmingham to be fair And Wolves. The derby in January originally! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Curls Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Can we just hold training sessions in France? Benton's pitches must have rusty syringes and bricks laying all over the pitch the way we pick up injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 don't know why he was even being pushed to play again this season. It should have been written off as soon as the break was diagnosed. Better to give it the long rest than rush him back for the sake of a game or two at the end of the season. Just take it easy and wait for pre-season would have been better.

joeyt Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Hopefully Ben Arfa will come on against WBA (I don't care if he's still on crutches) for the last minute, just to hear the great ovation he'll get Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to give it the long rest than rush him back for the sake of a game or two at the end of the season. Just take it easy and wait for pre-season would have been better. Doesn't look like he's been pushed in any way at all. You'd imagine he probably wanted to play some part. As soon as there is a problem it sounds like he decides how and where to deal with it. Wonder what the complication is. Must say i'd have liked him to stay here until the summer break. A bit worrying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Hope this is for the best but a bit worried by how much time he's spending in France if only for the fact that it makes you wonder just how poor our facilities are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just take it easy and wait for pre-season would have been better. doesn't seem like he was being pushed and theres been no sign of rushing things, in fact the way the press have been gushing about the way we've handled the injury i'd say the opposite is true and theres always been the attitude of "he'll play as an when he's fit" and if thats the last game of the season then so be it, if not then thats the way it is.

Ikon Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 They say it's a "minor setback" But being a Newcastle fan im worried as we always seem to experience bad news! Fingers crossed it's nothing serious, the silence about his setback is what worries me most i guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Dancer Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Can't wait to have him back, even though it will be in August. A lot of our fans underestimate HBA, he's an absolute steal for what?£5/6 million? If we had him available all season I am pretty confident that we'd have at least 7 or 8 more points. Him playing behind say a Gamerio is truly wanktastic, but it'll be him stuck left-wing with Shola and Loven up front probably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed it's nothing serious, the silence about his setback is what worries me most i guess. Would assume it's just the club using "minor setback" as an excuse to the expectant fans (who've they've raised the expectations of) awaiting his return before the end of the season.
