Siem de Jong (still alive)

Worried now. He's a good player but this is ridiculous.

 

If he had all these problems at Ajax, it suggests the medical checks NUFC did weren't very thorough.

seriously, with all this medical science and shit nowadays, how the hell is Derek Wright still our main physio? he must have been there 30yr at least, i can remember him running on the pitch when McFaul was manager i'm sure. Can definitely remember him under Smith

Incidence rate of a recurrent sponatenous pneumothorax is between 25- 50% with most occuring within the year after suffering the first one. The club medics should be aware of that and know the likelihood was high for him to get this again pretty soon. Who the hell are our medical team? They are either crap or the club arrogantly ignore their advice blinded by pound signs. Either way it's bit us on the arse yet again. If something's  much cheaper than it should be there's usual a bloody good reason... Get well soon Siem..

Yeah must be really tough for him. I know he's still getting paid etc, but given the shortness of a footballers career and the fact he wants to prove himself in England, must be a bit soul-destroying. Hope he gets a decent recovery and gets a decent run of games when he's fit before the end of the season.

Gutted for the bloke, as it sounds pretty worrying and he's had a shit start to life here. 

 

But I'm not really that arsed about him not playing TBH?  I still fail to see how he'd fit in the current team.  The only slightly enjoyable thing about our team now is the pace we have going forward and on the counter.  He doesn't really fit the bill.  Lumping balls up to him, with him being asked to play as a target man for Perez is hardly going to suit him either.  So he'd just be wasted I think.   

 

Get him fit for next season and hopefully get an actual football manager in and maybe we will see him shine in the #10 role.

 

It is annoying that we spent a fair bit by our standards, on a player that will miss a whole season.

Siem De Jong will play for Newcastle this season despite having surgery on his lung.

 

The Dutch striker opted to have an operation on a collapsed lung to cure the problem immediately.

 

The former Ajax skipper first suffered the problem in 2013, and it reoccurred earlier this month, when he was days away from a comeback after six months out with a groin problem.

 

With every occurrence, De Jong was more likely to breakdown again. After the first, he was twice as likely to suffer again, and so it proved.

 

Newcastle and De Jong acted quickly to cure the weakness with an operation, that is usually only given after three punctures.

 

Such was the seriousness of the complaint he spent a week in hospital and is now back home.

 

Newcastle say that De Jong’s risk factor is now back down to normal, so he is no more likely to have another lung problem than anyone.

 

This allayed any fears that his career was threatened.

 

That is a major relief for the £6million summer signing who is desperate to get going after his first season on Tyneside was wrecked by injury.

 

De Jong signed a six year deal last summer. After his lung collapsed he tweeted: “Still hoping to wake up and see it was all a nightmare.”
