Balo now December?

What a joke this buy has been so far :( What a joke most of the buy has been, with injury that is. Cannot believe how unlucky we constantly are.

So which is it; a joke or unlucky? Can't be both.

I wish the club woud put an injury page on the website with estimated return dates and a few comments from the medical team re progress. Quite a few other clubs do this and is stops all the speculation.

No OS but a handy reference point for injuries and our list has lessened a bit - so things looking better

I always find that site inaccurate. For example where is SWP and M. Johnson?

agreed, what other club has to put up with the misfortune of having hundreds of millions of pounds worth of world class talent in the treatment room? Makes you want to support Liverpool or Portsmouth.

Balotelli will want to play as soon as he can, he's finding it tough to make ends meet on the £79.15 a week statutory sick pay he gets

Balotelli has never said in December.

Balotelli said 6 / 8 weeks (from the day of surgery) and an idiot journalist got 6 / 8 weeks from the day asked him that question.

We're missing Dzeko so bad right now it's not even funny.

Ade will have to play like a man possessed until then.

I broke a finger and was playing football again the following week :)

I broke two legs and was blinded in both eyes...playing the next day me.

And I used to play whilst blind drunk. On the good days.

On the bad days the 12 pints would be starting to wear off and I'd have to keep going off to throw up.

Happy days :-)

exactly

Manchini should sit him down and tell him to put up or shut up, he has 7 - 8 weeks to stake his claim, Ballotelli will be like a January signing for us.

i also agree that in the long term this may be for the best for us, all the new signings are going to drip feed into the team.

Yaya > Milner > Silva > Boetang > Koralov > Balotelli.

it would have been asking too much to bring these into the team all at once, as it has worked out they will be brought into the team nice and slowly as they are ready causing minimum disruption.

We might have been top of the League and still in the league Cup if it wasn't for injuries

What has Adebayor said to upset you? From what I have seen he's got his head down, and is ready and waiting to take his chance when he gets it

It's nothing in particular that he has said, i just get the impression that RM doesn't believe in him fully and this is his chance to stake his claim. His first five games of last season he got off to a flier and showed what we all know he is capable of. He needs to get back to this level for us,

I was delighted when we signed Ade and i'm sure he can do the job for us but he looks to me as though he has lost a bit of the hunger, maybe he doesn't feel such a big fish any more.

I have to admit though, i think anyone going through what Ade suffered last year with Togo would be affected. i can't even begin to believe where his head must have been at.

However this is his chance, lets see if he will take it.

I was decapitated in a car crash, played 2 hours later and scored the
winner with a header in the top corner.

I think you meant "with a head in to top corner".
