Crumpy Gunt Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Blessing in disguise? Season almost over. He goes away to recover. We extend contract for 5 years. Comes back rested/strong for a very important season next year He could be out for a lot longer than this season. It might be he's out for this year.

NG32 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Pardew has just been on SSN, says it was news that Hatem didn't want to hear...So it could be the doctors have found that it hasn't healed correctly. And lets knock the talk of selling him on the head man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I don't think there's any chance at all that we'll be looking to negotiate his contact this summer now. Arguably rightly so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 We might aswell sell him. As I much as love that guy , I'll easily take 20millions for him ,the club come first we could build a much more stronger squad with that money. What a stupid post. Who will spend £20m on a player who has made 43 appearances in 3 years? Why would we sell him when we are paying to mend him? Why would we sell one of our best players?

We bought him when he had a broken leg, like. Very different circumstances. In what way? You've just got to put yourself in Ashley shoes. He's paying £50k a week for a guy who plays about once every four games on average. Signing him initially had an element of risk but you can see how the board could be swayed.

Dave Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Well a leg break is pretty uncommon. Plus he was already at loggerheads with his club, and was a relatively low risk because we got him for silly low money based on his potential. This is the latest in a growing list of niggling injuries that are keeping him out of the side. His existing contract runs until 2015, I just don't see us taking the risk of more money for longer without him proving his fitness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His existing contract runs until 2015, I just don't see us taking the risk of more money for longer without him proving his fitness. We still signed him on a five year deal (?), which is a canny commitment, along with the transfer fee. As I said earlier, the current injury strengthens our bargaining position massively. I can't see Ashley not seeing the sense in gambling on a slightly improved deal on a player that could quite easily net us £25m if he recaptures his form, once fit.

DJ_NUFC Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Was it worth it starting him on that plastic pitch? Not using this to take a swipe at Pards, but we've seen this way too often with Newcastle over the past decade... players being rushed back too soon or too making them do far too much on their first / second games back, instead of letting them blood back in slowly. Disgusting, that he's out for the season. FFS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disgusting, that he's out for the season. FFS. I agree it seems pretty daft to start him out there but as none of us are qualified to comment we can't then start slating the medical team (not saying you are mate - others have been in this thread) The medical team might have followed protocol to the nth degree, checked scans, done the tests on him in training and all of it pointed to a successful return. Only when a player goes back into full speed action will you really know how they're responding or more to the point how the area reacts afterwards. It's taken a specialist to suggest surgery and it sound to me like whether it was a plastic pitch or grass, a 20 min cameo or a 40 min appearance, the situation was going to rear it's head anyway if its to the extent that surgery is required.
