Exactly, just highlighting how ridiculous it is to label players as injury prone on short time scales. They both have a pretty average record over time.

 

Not saying either have the absolut highest availability, but it sometimes sounds like Isak is on par with Wilson which is ridiculous. He played 30/38 pl games last season and has played 15/17 this season.

 

EDIT: And you suggested to compare Haaland vs Isak recently. Haaland played 31/38 last season and have, 17/17 this one. Pretty similar to Isak’s stats to be fair.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I suggested to compare the last 2,5 seasons specifically, meaning since both players arrived in the league. Isak has missed 38 games, Haaland has missed 20. Isak has missed nearly twice as many games.

 

If you look at Willock and Wilson, they weren't much injured at all at the start of their carreer. They became injury prone at some point. We don't know for sure whether it's the norm for him just yet, but it's not uncommon for the problems to start later on. His injury history before joining us doesn't necessarily mean that much.

 

When it comes to Haaland I think it's pretty clear that Man City has better routines in terms of preventing injuries than what he had at Dortmund. Whether that be training or something else. I've allways maintained that there are many things you can do to minimize chances of an injury crisis happening, it's not just luck or bad luck.

 

Man City has their problems this season, but it's unusual for them.

"Throughout my career, I have never commented on rumours during the season (regarding reported transfer interest). There have been many such years where that (moving clubs) has been talked about. It doesn’t affect me. My situation at Newcastle? I have never had any problem there and I am fully focused on my task there, that we will have a fantastic season. There are still great opportunities for that and I have no thoughts about anything else. Much of what I read (about myself) is not true. That is about all I can say about the whole thing."

Had a look at the official NUFC annual today, wherein Dan Burn and Sean Longstaff pick their greatest ever NUFC XI. There's some current squad included (eg. Bruno and Trippier) but Alexander Isak will be disappointed to see they picked Shearer and............................................................................................................................Shola Ameobe before him.
