Hughesy Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 His injury was completely unrelated to anything he'd had before, I think it's unfair to say he's just injury prone. He's not Dyer or Woodgate, even Marveaux, breaking down with muscle injuries every five minutes. He's had, what, a dislocated shoulder, a bad knee and a ruptured Achilles that I can think of? I don't think that's injury prone as such, more like really bad luck, I hope so anyway. I'd agree with that. He is not injury prone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimburst Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I think he's probably injury prone, but in terms of how much he throws himself about (compounded by how big a lad he is). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Never understood how he spends so much time out injured. Not even worth debating the phrase "injury prone", he doesn't play enough, it's that simple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bmoregeordie Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 read somewhere that pardew has committed to willo ahead of saylor and any new CB signing. is that right? there was no link. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Never understood how he spends so much time out injured. Not even worth debating the phrase "injury prone", he doesn't play enough, it's that simple. Happens to lots of players who significantly 'bulk up' in their 20s. Certainly muscles, ligaments and tendons don't make the leap and it leads to persistent injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEEJ Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Pardew basically said that at the moment, Willo is Colo's partner. Whoever we sign in the summer will have to dislodge Willo to get in the team. Saylor knows this and will have to work harder than he's ever worked to get back in. Fair enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TherealnorthernTOON Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Steven Taylor has defo benefitted from bulking up, but think he's done it too far. If he were slimmer he would be able to turn faster wich has been somewhat his weak side for some time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, definitely sounds like man management to me I don't think anyone is really expecting to see Williamson as first choice come August though.

We know that but he has at least put down the challenge for those two. Williamson finished the season and Pardew is obviously going to claim Taylor and a new signing will need to fight for Williamson's place (even if we all know that isn't really true).

Smal Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Has anything been said about Taylor making the provisional GB squad, btw? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 It was mentioned in the Olympics thread. Personally (and selfishly), I don't want him to be anywhere near the GB squad, mainly because he's just recovering from quite a long layoff - I'd rather he go through rehabilitation and get himself ready for pre-season tbh. Don't think he's ready for a return to competitive action just yet, it's a bit risky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Depends on his fitness, if he's ready for any type of football then it might be a good way to get him up to speed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Yeah, I cannot see how gaining a bit of match practice can be bad for us, provising of course he is fully fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Meanwhile, United defender Steven Taylor is expected to be ready for day one of pre-season training. The Magpies star has not appeared for the Tynesiders since December last year. And despite making a good recovery from an Achilles injury sustained in the 3-0 loss to Chelsea, the centre-back wasn’t risked at the back end of last term. However, Taylor will begin training with his team-mates again when pre-season gets under way on July 5. The Whitley Bay lad will then be available for Newcastle’s first friendly fixture to make his long-awaited return.
