Guest BooBoo Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Not his fault, but I don't think we'll ever be in a position to rely on this lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Thought this would happen. This injury is in the same area as his leg break and Pardew sounded quite vague about the timescale from the outset Said this before. I reckon hes done some damage where the original injury was - could cause all sorts of problems Based on what? The problem is in his ankle/achilles, his broken bone was well above that area. Not his fault, but I don't think we'll ever be in a position to rely on this lad. I think he'll always attract bad tackles, more so then your average player, but I cant see tackles like the last two happening consistently. They were geniunely terrible tackles that would have injured any player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Could Pardew not have meant, 3-4 weeks and he'd be back in training and then 5-6 weeks he'll be starting or in an around the team? He has missed a large chunk of preseason let's not forget, he'll have his work cut out for him when he gets back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Breaks like these are random injuries. Yes, he's the type of player that invites challenges, but so are most dribblers. He doesn't have a history of injuries, and these bone injuries are random. I'd be more worried if he had persistent muscular problems a la Kieron Dyer, who could never got over the issues, or Owen, who had surgery which changed his game completely because he didn't have the raw pace anymore. This will all be forgotten when Ben Arfa gets fit and plays 30 matches this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 His injuries aren't chronic, is what I'm saying. They're different and unrelated to each other, which is why it's not a concern. I know everyone's on edge these days so we're all prone to some exaggeration/doomsday-type talk, but he'll be fine and we'll be fine. It's just frustrating that our squad hasn't been strengthened enough to be able to cope with injuries to him and other key players, even though the opportunity was there.

Teasy Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Yeah I agree, I don't think either injury shows signs of an injury prone player and he doesn't seem to have a record of injuries before coming here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Not his fault, but I don't think we'll ever be in a position to rely on this lad. In fairness it's not like he's had niggly little injuries, he's just been unfortunate enough to be on the end of two horror challanges. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Have now placed him in the little mental block in my head I reserve for players who rarely actually play for us so it's better for me to just assume they don't exist until they do.

KaKa Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Isn't Pardew just including fitness time, and therefore how long it will take before he actually makes an appearance, rather than how long before the injury is healed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
