ExiledGeordie Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 He lacks durability but thankfully we’re moving to a squad system so there’s less reliance on him. We definitely need another quality winger who can play left or right side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awaymag Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 We will not see Isak or Maxi in a Newcastle shirt until after the world cup! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maze Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) Overall, I love to watch ASM, and I hope we get in some personnel that can assist in his recovery (like Haaland). Edited October 16, 2022 by maze Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did think when he told me he's probably injured again My gf showed me a post on Facebook last night of someone with their son outside training getting photos & autographs with the players & ASM was definitely on them.

Aiston Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Dare I say, sell? Getting too injury prone....maybe cash out while we can? Rather not, if he was consistently fit mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I reckon we might see him for Southampton and Chelsea matches but I’m basing that on wild guesswork lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 He’s so unreliable. We really need to invest in a couple of quality attacking players in January. Murphy, Wood and Fraser have no business on the same pitch as most of the players behind them, unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) Not going to get a third of a season out of him. Certainly cannot make plans to have him be a feature in the team. Cant go forward on the assumption of ASM and Wilson being banked on. Their going to have to be thought of as squad players (which they are now anyway the amout they're both out for) and as a bonus if available but work on the assumption they wont be and strengthen their positions.

HaydnNUFC Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 He did make 35 appearances last season tbf. 31 starts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Is he carrying too much weight? Like even when he’s playing games regularly, he sort of has this grimace that he’s constantly in some sort of pain, hobbling around like something is about to break.. yet then he gets the ball and he runs his arse off. He never looks 100% and it’s been that way since he signed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemtizz Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Just the way he plays tbh. Constant bursts of acceleration, change of direction, etc. I'm sure it's pretty taxing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Going to be a tough situation come the end of the season if he ends up being out injured a lot. Was looking for a new contract this summer and I have no doubt he would have got it the end of this season, with the way he was beginning to perform, however, if he has a bad year fitness wise, not sure if he gets the kind of offer he'll be after. Guy can't be missing this many games going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Always typical of our luck - unplayable v Man City. Finally shows he's up for the fight defensively when he sprints fully down the pitch to try and stop a counter attack goal, and then scores a worldie equalizer later.

Guy can't be missing this many games going forward. I wouldn’t be surprised if Howe goes for direct competition for his position in the summer if we haven’t already signed a legitimate option in Jan. We’ll be needing to bulk up the squad but as you say if his fitness concerns continue it’ll be more paramount to improve that position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
