Yep.
Not on the team bus according to Gary Neville.
F*ck.
Well it just seems like this year will be another long struggle. With a new team its so important that the players can play together for as many matches as possible. We haven't been able to achieve that in the slightest and its already the end of October.
I'd take fourth place right now.
I'd take fourth place right now.
So, two months into the season and the most we've got out of him in a game is what, 60 minutes?
Makes me glad we can cut the chord at the end of the season should this continue. We need to be getting 90 minutes out of him.
It's a knock in training mate. Not a re-injured cruciate! It's his first injury since he came and you want to "cut the chord"? What a joke.
I said, "it makes me glad we can cut the chord at the END of the season if this continues."
I said nothing about cutting the chord now. We just need to get more playing time out of him. I'm just glad that it's a loan with option to buy(I think that's how it is going to work anyway?), chill!
Of course you bloody would! Fourth place is a long way off and would be a great a achievement with the way the season's gone so far. Re Falcao. Struggled to get excited when we signed him and still waiting to be convinced it was money well spent after the clocks go back. Meh.
I was excited when we signed Falcao, would love to see him really start tearing up the league at some point this year, that's what I'm hoping for anyway
He needs to be fit for these two games. Players play through knocks all the time, and these games are huge.
Short of being unable to walk-not playing due to a "knock" in a big game is concerning.
I think we're just playing it really safe with him. I'm sure he'll be fit and firing eventually, but if he's rushed back then his career is finished.
Re Falcao. Struggled to get excited when we signed him and still waiting to be convinced it was money well spent after the clocks go back. Meh.
I'm just hoping he's not another forlan!
Yeah, like Ozil did recently which worked out brilliantly for Arsenal.
I agree. He's seemed to be moving slightly gingerly since arriving. Then that photo of him covering his knee. Real *supposedly* pulling out of a deal with him, and the amount of time his medical took.
It's all a bit off.
If he has a legitimate knock, we are obviously doing the right thing in keeping him out...as it would be pointless to have him play half fit then re aggravate and also miss the City match and more.
If that is the case then we have an option to send him back to Monaco if he's injured.
And the irony of the Vidal and Strootman sagas-that both are reportedly on hold until they show their knees are OK. Meanwhile-Falcao gets a "knock."
Vidal/Strootman would also be here if their clubs would send them here on a year long loan.
True, but at present we're paying his wages for him to be 'handled with care', it seems a weird move.
I was made up when we signed him, but thus far we probably would've been better signing a prospect like Berahino or keeping Welbeck.
I'm starting to think there's something not quite right about the Falcao move - hopefully I'm proven wrong.
Jet lag and a knock in training. I'm starting to compile a list of reasons why he doesn't start.
Gutted for him. It's gonna take some effort for him to get into his stride and prove people wrong. Because it's only a matter of time before "flop" and "glass" start doing the rounds.
Just got home to see that he's injured and not in the team. Feck Our Lives.
exactly.
Re Falcao. Struggled to get excited when we signed him and still waiting to be convinced it was money well spent after the clocks go back. Meh.
Same here. You've should've bought a decent defender and should've have kept either of Hernandez/Welbeck instead of getting him.
Anyway, he has still most of season left to prove himself.
I like the part where you ignore him saying "should this continue".
Then again, it's probably quite difficult to read properly from all the way up there on your high horse.
He wouldn't have started anyway. Step up James Wilson super sub.
I like the part where you ignore him even contemplating "cutting the chord" when his injury had nothing to do with his knee. Mine's a pony compared to yours.
Any update as to how serious the injury is?
Or if it was done by Jones?
Or if it was done by Jones?
During match one of Polish commentators said that he wad injured by one of his team mates during training. No idea where he got that information from but the plot thickens...
If it's a teammate then I'm not concerned. Mean it's not one of his long term injuries.
The fact hes on loan and hasnt cost a large fee kind of excludes him from being a flop in the Torres, Forlan kind of sense but it's more about fans expectations of him when he was first signed, there was a lot of over exaggerations, youtube compilations and hype. I was ridiculed for suggesting he may not be the same player he was 2 or 3 years ago do to age, league and injury, but he does seem to need a lot of care. Still think hes more lethasl than RVP at present though.
He hasn't even played a full 90 minutes let. I know you're not saying so nor is it your intention to imply it, but let's give him a tiny bit of time before we brush him off.
The thing is, we're 2 months into the season, and he still hasn't managed to play more then 60 minutes at a time for us. Thats got to be a worry.
Yeah, that's true. The signs are a bit ominous but I just really hope we can get him in the team for a while as early as we can just so we're not left halfway through the season trying to figure if he's going to be good enough or not.
Any update on his injury? Hopefully not too bad, he was sitting just behind the singing section yesterday - huge commotion in the east stand, practically missed the first 10 minutes of the game!
Well LVG downplayed any seriousness of it, saying he just got a kick in training. I expect he'll be back for the City game.Any update on his injury? Hopefully not too bad, he was sitting just behind the singing section yesterday - huge commotion in the east stand, practically missed the first 10 minutes of the game!
