AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Good news that he's going with Algeria really, must mean he's close to playing. Not that I would necessarily bring him in right now anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 If he scores one goal off his helmet that gets us a point which keeps us up then he will be a great singing! I really like him as player and I feel sorry for him that he was injured when he signed and still is (well done Mike for wasting another full window!) as I've read some of our idiots giving him stick for it! Heard he's out with a torn helmet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeloEmre Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Good news that he's going with Algeria really, must mean he's close to playing. Not that I would necessarily bring him in right now anyway. He’s not even training with the rest of the team so can’t see him being close to playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not even training with the rest of the team so can’t see him being close to playing. Seems like he was properly crocked based on the matches he's already missed and the physio work he's been doing. We'll be lucky to see half a dozen games from him. Absolute farce really, hopefully it won't matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newintoon Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Chronicle Live has reported that Benitez told NUFC TV: “He has a plan, he has to follow that plan. He is working with the fitness coach but he has to follow the plan.” Follow the plan, the plan was u were back 2 weeks ago! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 It seemed to get much worse after we let him go to Algeria when we gave the squad a weekend off. That was a mistake and he should have been training here, not there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 What a waste. Will have missed 5 games since arriving. Leaving 8 to go, and nobody can be certain just when he is likely to make a full debut. If hes not ready for Huddersfield then he cant face Leicester. So if he is ever getting fit his first match is hopeful to be Arsenal. Waste of what? Am I missing something? Is the "five games" also including Leicester's?! No thats after the Huddersfield game, but as pointed out if hes not ready for Huddersfield, the following game Leicester he cant play anyway. Bringing the total missed games since arriving to 7, and pinning our hopes on him being available for Arsenal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I doubt we're pinning any hopes on him at this point. Luckily it seems like he might not be needed. Hard to say how bad a signing this really was TBH, he had a few runs out for Leicester before he came. Could just be unlucky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 He had the '2 week' thigh injury when we loaned him. He was working with the physios. He aggrevated the injury. Probably came back too soon and pushed too hard. Either he was overeager or the injury was worse than diagnosed. Neither party will be happy about it.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 We were clearly interested in him, this should have been tied up in the first week of Jan and we may not have this problem. Even if he comes in and plays a few and scores an all important winner or an equaliser, he will have been worth it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki679 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Still injured apparently. Already been ruled out of their game with Iran on Tuesday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 could it be Algeria just called him up as he is their biggest name, big focal point in their dressing room type thing. No intention on playing and possibly wanting to check his fitness given our record ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 He was only meant to be out for a couple of weeks initially I think so maybe they thought he'd be fit enough to at least play some part (even if just as a sub) in their games but in typical NUFC style his injury seems to be dragging on and on.

loki679 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Aye, just checked, Sky reported two weeks on 31st Jan when we signed him then 23rd Feb it was a reported setback which was another two weeks. Two week injury has turned into two months ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
