HawK Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 One of my mates text me today to tell me Dummett has got a new contract but I can't find a confirmation anywhere; please allay my fears . He is getting a new contract and he deserves it. I doubt you have mates though. Alreet Paul, didn't realise you were on N-O. All jokes aside, if the contract is for a backup then fine, but there's no way in hell we should be giving him a deal as a starting 11 Premier League left back. If rumours are to be believed, Stoke were considering doing just that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Hope it isn't serious regarding him either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I'd imagine it will just be the standard timescale for a hamstring. Usually about 3-6 weeks isn't it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Looked a hamstring tear. Probably 2 months out. Might have to sign a left back or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperFlat Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Gamez to step in? Can't see much benefit in Clark playing there for a few games. Lascelles looked very shaky when he came on, but at least Mbemba did well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Games moved like a carnival float when I saw him at reading. Would be worrying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Thought Clark was alright there. Maybe Manquillo can move to the left, when Yedlin returns? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leazes_End_Mag Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Clark is in noway a LB. At least Dummett runs forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Clark did go forward like even tried to show skills to beat players which ended predictably. Low point perhaps when obviously rehearsed corner routine ended up with ball being passed to Clark to hoof it in, again with predictable results. Clark was very good last season don't get me wrong, but not one i want to see on side of their box trying to beat a man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Thought Clark was alright there. Maybe Manquillo can move to the left, when Yedlin returns? Clark was serviceable there, just like Dummett is, defensively sound, but from an attacking perspective it's not ideal and completely wastes our best CB. We need Calrk and the Capt to partner in the middle, if yedlin is back Manquillo can switch but if not, the alternatives are dreadful, Gamez is probably the best of a bad bunch.

xLiaaamx Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Clark and Dummett are similar out there. Nothing going forward. Clark's a better defender though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 He looked decent enough that i won't complain too much about him being there in short term, albeit prolly when when Mbemba reverts to making silly mistakes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Clark at least looked comfortable with the ball at his feet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 https://www.nufc.co.uk/news/latest-news/magpies-duo-out-for-weeks Newcastle United have confirmed that defenders Florian Lejeune and Paul Dummett will be out of action for a number of weeks. Both players were forced off with injuries during the first half of Sunday’s Premier League defeat to Tottenham Hotspur at St. James’ Park. Dummett limped off with a hamstring injury after just seven minutes, before Lejeune - making his Magpies debut - sustained ankle ligament damage during a tackle by Harry Kane. Assessments by the club's medical staff are continuing in order to establish the full extent of their injuries but both players are expected to be out for weeks, rather than months.

Scoot Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Pleased it's weeks for Lejeune rather than months. Don't care about Dummett as he's gash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

U2 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Mark Douglas reckons three weeks tops for one of the injuries. I don't know which. The original tweet he answered has been deleted so it could be either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Wonder if this results in Lazaar getting another chance at all. Or even Haidara. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I would definitely play Haidara if he's fit. Big if obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 It will be the same back 4 as Spurs when Dummett and Lejeune went off, Manquillo-Mbemba-Lascelles-Clark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 In the league cup you'd think one of them would get a chance though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
