Need him to be fast tracked into the team. If there's been any strategy of bringing him back slowly then we need that to be cast aside.

20 minutes and then a full game if he's anywhere near fit.

Never gonna happen boss, you know that.

He really has to stay fit from here on in. We really cannot keep indulging one-legged men. Either he's fit now, or get rid. We've waited long enough and seen more gushing interviews with him and comments about him than we have performances.

He may have his hand forced.

I know Iroegbunam is available, so he'll come in for Gueye. But we need Garner at RB and a MF to take his slot who can get at the opposition defence too.

Me too. You can see he has all the attributes to be a great player.

You can be the best player in the world, but if you’re only playing 10 games a season, the talent is redundant.

We need to see a fully fit, uninterrupted run from him. We desperately need it now, I’m sure he’s desperate himself.

Perhaps you could update us all on what game youre referring to?

The ones I’ve seen him play in the flesh. How many have you seen him play?

It's a bit of a myth though.

He played over 20 games last year in his "bad injury hit season" and over 30 the one before.

Before that he was still breaking into the team.

This is the one thread that everybody should be smack bang in the middle.

Nobody can honestly say he's good,
And nobody can honestly say he's bad..

We can only hope he turns out to be a good signing.

davek · 2025-12-13T22:31:04+0000

Said above earlier: Moyes needs to throw him in for a half of football.

If he's 'on the grass' that tells me he's there or thereabouts ready.

He may exist or he may not…no one can prove for certain…

I'm asking what game mate?

Cards, snakes and ladders, chess etc?

Was he in good spirits when you visited him in hospital?

Bit of a stretch this.

I think you're the one stretching there.

Its just basic maths.

He's never played more than half a seasons worth of games in a top league.

Thats not a stretch.

Looking like another poor signing, we need to swerve anyone with injury issues and not bother taking chances on them especially when we’re so limited for numbers, need to be signing first team players who are ready now.

But he was available for over 20 and 30 in the last two seasons respectively - that's the point.

Whether he played the full 90 in all those games isn't really relevant, as he clearly wasn't injured.

(And he played in over 20 games in 22/23 and played over 1000 minutes, so I'm not sure where your 0.5 games comes from)
