Was even thinking Middlesbrough with Carrick.

 

This seems quite perfect if we think a loan is the right move.

[Newcastle Fan]

Its been a terrible season for him,  looks like the right choice to let him rest up and recover fully to be ready for next one.

I’ve said before when this has come up, we completely underestimate how much hatred Boro have towards us.

 

If Miley had a run of indifferent performances the crowd would turn on him in no time.

 

Keep him the hell away from smogland.

[janpawel]

He was one of the players I was most excited for this season, genuinely believe he is incredibly talented and was hoping he'd kick on after being excellent last year

I wouldn’t mind seeing Miley go out on loan.

I wouldn't mind seeing Miley starting as many games as possible. For us.

[Erikse]

Maybe we should've taken this decision earlier, but I'm happy that we finally did. This never ending cycle is not great for his carreer.

I know right now we're saying he doesn't need surgery...but can we not do it anyway and save the inevitable breakdown end of July setting him back till the new year?

Unless there’s a rupture surgery isn’t indicated for an Achilles. Reading between the lines it’s a complex tendinopathy which can be hard to manage let alone in elite sport. Sounds like the best decision to rest him and get him ready for next season.

Yep, totally agree! Rest and a progressive targeted strengthening program is the norm, just just on the Achilles but all areas of the calf and shin muscles... I would imagine they would be looking at his gait too and checking if his boots are too neutral etc.   

[huss9]

get him fit and get him sold.

replace with a more reliable midfielder next season?

[nemtizz]

Nah.

I would, easier said than done though.

[Guest]

I’d be willing to listen to offers but would have to be double what we paid

Which we won’t get coming off a

really disruptive and potentially unsolved Achilles injury.

[Guest]

Might get our money back off someone like Fulham. Would love him to stay but not sure his body can handle Howeball.

[FLUMPO235]

I mean, if someone offered silly money then yeah. But the guy more than deserves another season to show he’s over his injuries. 
 

I can’t see anyone offering the sort of money that would sway my head. This is however based on me not truly or wanting to understand ffp amortisation. 

[huss9]

this is purely based on ffp requirements to allow us to push on.

where else are gonna find buyers for some of our players.

not convinced ipswich offer £21 for miggy nor leeds with longstaff.

need to sacrifice a porple.

He's had a bad season with injuries but tbh who hasn't.  Just needs time to get fit and not rushed back.

[80]

I'm in no hurry to sell, not least as his value's probably never been lower. Big year for him next season though, and hopefully a fantastic one.

[Beth]

Provided he can get/stay fit in the summer there's no way we should be selling him. The gap in ability between him and Longstaff/Anderson is a chasm.

Will he ever play again though?

No idea. Is his injury that bad? If so it was another masterstroke by our medical team and/or management to throw him back in when he was clearly miles away from being fit.
