Vuckic Joins Ryan Taylor – Out For The Season

3:49 pm, Thursday, October 11th, 2012 by Ed Harrison · 139 Comments

More bad news on the injury front for Newcastle, as news today that Haris Vuckic will be out for the season, after suffering serious cruciate knee ligament damage in the Newcastle U21′s 2-1 win at Aston Villa on Monday night.

Haris Vuckic – now out for the season with serious ACL knee injury

As soon as we heard it was probably ligament damage that was not good news, and the 20 year old’s progress at Newcastle has been held up by a number of injuries over the past couple of years.

And now unfortunately, the Slovenian International will be on the sidelines for the rest of this season, and joins Ryan Taylor on the long term injured list, and both have serious ACL knee injuries.

We heard this morning that Ryan will not return until pre-season next summer, and that was not good news either.

This is what Haris said today to Ekipa:

“I immediately knew that something is very wrong and I suspected that it could be cruciate ligament and the medical examination proved that.” “Now I have to wait for the swelling in the knee to go away. Then I will have surgery and four to six months of rest.”

“It is very difficult, especially mentally. But I know, that I will be okay, I know that doctors will take care of me, but it will require time and a lot of patience.’ “I’m very sad. I was very close to the first team, I was getting a chance in Europa League and after long time I felt really great.”

“But injuries are part of sport and football.’I could feel sorry for myself, that would be easier, but I won’t. I’m not like that so I will do everything in my power to come back even stronger.”

And Newcastle boss Alan Pardew has asked the Newcastle fans to show some support to the youngster during the time he is away:

“I think Haris knew straight away it was a serious injury.’ “If our fans want to send him any messages, I think that would be appropriate, because he is hurt.”

Dan Gosling also picked up ankle ligament damage on Monday night and he’s likely to be out many weeks as he recovers from that injury.

So that’s two of our players out for the season, and Dan out for maybe months, so surely we will need to go into the transfer market and sign a couple of players in January to fortify the squad, which is still too small for a side competing in Europe this season.

If you want to send a message of encouragement to Haris or Ryan, you can do so by sending a comment to the Newcastle club here.

    Maybe we could see more of amalfitano now? From what ive seen he doesn’t get on the ball all that much but when he does he has good feet and can whip in a decent cross.

  • 2 toonarmydownsouth // Oct 11, 2012 at 3:54 PM

    Rainrix
    Hope so hes in a funny position to old for the development squad but possibly not first team standard yet although if i remember didnt pards say when we signed him he reckoned it would take a season for him to get to grips with the prem?

  • 3 Quasi.modo // Oct 11, 2012 at 3:55 PM

    First and foremost think it is appropriate to wish Haris all the best in his recovery from what is yet another serious injury for a very talented young man. If he can get over this one and come back even stronger I am sure he has still got a future at Newcastle United.

    It may mean we see more of Amalfitano in the EL games and cup games which a lot of us have been wanting since we seen how positive he was in pre-season but injuries are never good, especially when they are rapidly mounting up on a small young squad

  • 4 rainrix // Oct 11, 2012 at 3:57 PM

    tads.. Something like that mate. I expected to see him weened in on europa and cup games but he hasn’t even been getting many of them. Maybe he hasn’t impressed in training but by the looks of things theres definantly some talent there, even if it is like carr and pards said “raw”

  • 5 danishmag // Oct 11, 2012 at 4:00 PM

    very expensive youngster he is turning out to be!
    Injured 90 % of the last two years, and the board gave him a new contract not to long ago.. 4 more years.. When he comes back, there is still 3 more years left of his contract.. He is a very talented youngster, no doubt about that, but he shows that he is very injury proon..
    He is a good lad, but I say ship him out!

  • 6 danishmag // Oct 11, 2012 at 4:01 PM

    injury prone

  • 7 Thump // Oct 11, 2012 at 4:03 PM

    Injury prone would be a compliment, danish.

  • 8 Quasi.modo // Oct 11, 2012 at 4:03 PM

    From previous thread

    I have always thought Simmo was a very good player, thought he was instrumental in the Championship season and he has went on and proved what a reliable and consistent player he is and I for one would be gutted if we let him go for nothing next summer, he is a Prem standard RB, he may not be of the standard we need to push on to crack top 4 but I would like to see him stay at the club.

    His situation could be akin to that of Guthrie, he saw himself as a Prem starter, he couldn’t crack a first team spot at our club and wanted to leave to pursue that goal even though the club wanted him to stay as a squad player. Simmo is maybe looking first team assurances and after the widely publicised “Debuchy-gate” scandal he knows that the club is looking to upgrade, although he did recently say that he was willing to stay and fight for a place if a new RB came so I am no further forward on this train of thought haha

    As for Gosling, I hope he does live up to his early potential as he was once touted as one of the brightest young talents when we snapped him up and he just hasn’t lived up to the promise, get well soon Dan and Haris and Ryan we will be needing all of you back fit and healthy if we’re to kick on.

    Disagree about vuckic,
    hes been our most promising youngster for years now and in that time others have come in overtaken him hea been heavily hampered by injuries yes but you can only survive on your hype for so long and unfortunatly for vuckic he’s prob the most injury prone player we have
    As MA has shown hes a buisness man, sometimes ruthless in reality how long is he prepared to keep signing paychecks for someone permantly on the treatment table??

  • 10 danishmag // Oct 11, 2012 at 4:12 PM

    thump..
    So you are saying, that you agree? ;o)
    Looks like other youngsters are coming through.. Fergie and Tavernier are looking very good! Two new full backs with lots of potential.. And for the cost of nothing much really ;o)

  • 11 toonarmydownsouth // Oct 11, 2012 at 4:13 PM

    Quasi
    Completly agree about simmo the lad is a solid defensivly but doesnt have the attacking style many fans want to see these days
    Would love to see debuchy come in but would also love to see danny stay would be a great squad player and who knows maybe some competition might actually up his game

  • 12 obatoyou // Oct 11, 2012 at 4:14 PM

    not good man, hasn’t played much, must be devastated.
    sucks we got owned 3-0 before international break too, can’t wait to start playin again and forget this advertising business

  • 13 Thump // Oct 11, 2012 at 4:17 PM

    Do you think the surgeons have to handle him with white gloves and specialised equipment so they don’t damage him any further ala antiques?

  • 14 p // Oct 11, 2012 at 4:20 PM

    I think Vuckic is going to be a bit of a journeyman player. He’s just about premiership standard and I am not sure he is going to develop much especially with his injuries. But who knows? Seems like an honest lad so all the best to him.

    I like Simpson, he’s been a good servant to the club as far as I am concerned. Is he as good as Debuchy – I doubt it – but I reckon there is a good chance we will see how that fella fares in England. I reckon he will come in January.

    Simpson is a good pro and a decent rb I reckon but he is not a superstar and there is probably a mismatch between how much he/his agent thinks he is worth vs. what the club value him at.

    Welcome to the new Newcastle united.

  • 15 outsidethebox // Oct 11, 2012 at 4:21 PM

    does anyone know wether injuries on krull and collo sustained on international duties are being paid for by countries involved …not sure how it works but sure we have been paid in past..
    .

  • 16 toonarmydownsouth // Oct 11, 2012 at 4:22 PM

    P
    In all honesty i see vuckic bieng better suited to say serie A
    Still i high standard of football but slower paced and no where near as physical as the PL

  • 17 p // Oct 11, 2012 at 4:24 PM

    @16 – fair point.

    We will probably sell him for 2m and then he will become a 20m superstar in Italy a couple of years later – just need to make sure we have a sell on clause!

  • 18 toonarmydownsouth // Oct 11, 2012 at 4:27 PM

    P
    definatly need a sell on clause!!

    Sorry nothing to do with this but just seen this a couple of articles back!

    Oct 11 – 1:54 PM
    My team if we would’ve signed our key targets would be:

    Krul

    Debuchy Mbiwa Vertonghen Cissokho

    Anita

    Boudebouz Marvin Martin Ben Arfa

    Ba Luuk De Jong/Cisse

    The troll basically wants to replace our whole team!
    Seriously kets why the fcuk do you support the toon?
    Tw@

  • 19 lukes26 // Oct 11, 2012 at 4:33 PM

    Amalfitano reminds me of Jimmy Bullard. Hopefully he turns out to be a bit better. But the way he dances around the pitch is very bullard-like. If he were a gymnast his routine would always be a 10 for technical difficulty.

  • 20 p // Oct 11, 2012 at 4:42 PM

    Tads – that is schoolboy shit, putting out a fantasy team.

    Never going to happen.

    The road to success for Newcastle is not 11 galacticos, it’s about the “Arsenal” model which we have adopted in recent years.

    Stability and bringing young value-for-money potential through.

    I think there is a good chance of Debuchy coming, though he does not fit directly into our philosophy.

    However, I think there is room for a couple of more seasoned players to be acquired especially when they are available cheaply because of end of contract situation.

  • 21 danishmag // Oct 11, 2012 at 4:46 PM

    thump..
    spot on mate ;o)

  • 22 p // Oct 11, 2012 at 4:47 PM

    lukes26 – must have been the similar footballing philosophy they grew up with at Chateauroux and East London

  • 23 5Danny94 // Oct 11, 2012 at 4:51 PM

    Gives Abeid a chance too I suppose, alongside Amalfitano. I’d like to see them both given a chance. Gosling’s made a lot of appearances, but can’t seem to make the most of them.

  • 24 WWYCD // Oct 11, 2012 at 4:53 PM

    What Vuckic injured again? Out for the season u say? Well I never no one could of predicted this turn of events

  • 25 lucasnufc // Oct 11, 2012 at 5:01 PM

    Look at the brightside lads: We’ve got two “like new signings” to look forward to!

  • 26 toonarmydownsouth // Oct 11, 2012 at 5:08 PM

    YO
    At the bookies they offering odds of 1/1 for him bieng out injured………

  • 27 Bucks mag // Oct 11, 2012 at 5:17 PM

    Feel very sorry for the lad, but for me that’s his Newcastle career gone.

    Surely we’ll now be making a few signings in January though

  • 28 WWYCD // Oct 11, 2012 at 5:20 PM

    toonarmydownsouth
    Haha bless the lad but surely his NUFC career is being called into question, constantly injured and when he does play fails to impress…not looking good for the kid is it

  • 29 ToonDownSouth // Oct 11, 2012 at 5:24 PM

    This has to be it for his NUFC career, no?

    He’s hasn’t developed one bit in the last 2 years, and that’s about to become 3.

  • 30 toonarmydownsouth // Oct 11, 2012 at 5:26 PM

    YO
    To be honest no its not looking great this makes nearly 2 and half seasons injured and this season he’s been less impressive than what i expected from him as i said earlier how long will MA keep signing paychecks for someone permantly on the treatment table

  • 31 toonarmydownsouth // Oct 11, 2012 at 5:32 PM

    Maybe its our own fault we do over hype our youngsters but then you look at how players like sammy fergie tavernier adam campbell ranger before his gangsta urged kicked back in and even andy carroll how quickly these players have developed, maybe not enough for the senior squad but certainly greatly improved vuckic just doesnt seem to be developing at the same rate and at a club, any club, at the top flight you need to develop quickly or you can easily find yourself left behind

  • 32 GeordieTwo // Oct 11, 2012 at 5:37 PM

    Pack him in cotton wool and send him home. Can’t see a future for him in the Prem as it is far too physical. Agree with toonarmydownsouth a SerieA plaayer at best. Fergie is injured again as well. He has had several injuries in the last couple of seasons as well. Add Marveaux to that list as well as Shola and possibly Sammy. Oh and Gosling is injured again as well. Oh wait there is also Saylor. Is this kind of thing infectious in our squad?

  • 33 WWYCD // Oct 11, 2012 at 5:37 PM

    To be heartless Vuckic career at NUFC ending wont affect the club much overall but its a huge thing for him which is a shame (not saying it is over however but his nine lives must be running out)

    Vuckic to me seems to be more reputation than substance when I have seen him still I would love to see what some on here have seen from him and maybe I will next pre season before he resumes his spot on the injury table

  • 34 ToonDownSouth // Oct 11, 2012 at 5:38 PM

    tads

    Well he’s been constantly injured, so he’s had no chance to progress as a footballer. If anything, he’s probably gone backwards. Shame for the lad, but there’s nothing that can be done about it.

  • 35 WWYCD // Oct 11, 2012 at 5:44 PM

    “Once I had a friend and it was a gas
    Soon turned out had legs of glass” :D

    …I still have faith in Vuckic – he’ll pull through (there is some immense talent there, he just need to stay clear of injury from now on)

    A lot of work for our medical crew :)

  • 37 toonarmydownsouth // Oct 11, 2012 at 5:47 PM

    But we dont want to spend the money! ;)

  • 43 LGFUAD21 // Oct 11, 2012 at 6:00 PM

    Oh dear.

    Vuckic has looked promising for quite a while but he has struggled to make a mark in games. This is very bad news for the club and for him as someone reaching that “make or break” point.

    I think his only option is to recover and go on loan to the championship for a full season.

    I can see him coming along nicely if he can stay fit. But I am beginning to doubt.

    Looks like we will see more of Campbell this season.

  • 44 MagpiesFlyHigh // Oct 11, 2012 at 6:01 PM

    Wish Haris, Dan and Ryan all the best. It’s their living that these injuries affect – pity not too much sympathy on here. Especially sad for Haris as he’ll need a full season at a lower level to recover, if he can do at all. Nobody wants to see a promising career blighted by injury. Probably the best player this happened to was Nijinsky. True class he was…

    Think we all have a degree of sympathy for the lad but if IF his NUFC career over then thats all it is his nufc career nit his career and in pretty sure his lively hood is not under threat he still gets paid

  • 49 MagpiesFlyHigh // Oct 11, 2012 at 6:22 PM

    I doubt he’ll make a full recovery AND get his career back on track 100%. I can see him doing very well for a top championship club..

    A number of posters have been less than supportive of now long term injury victim Vuckic. Now is not the time to write off his NUFC future. Shearer in his first season at Blackburn did his cruciate. It was over xmas and he missed half a season. When he returned at start of new season he carried on where he left off scoring goals. With such an injury it’s as much down to a players mental strength and determination as anything else. It does help if fans are supportive and don’t write him off.
    Maybe that’s why Pardew asked for support of him during difficult times.
    On a happier note!!!? When are these Jimmy Saville

    Jeremy Beadle had a small hand in it.

    Well surely thats the difference between someone whos an athlete and cut out of the physical riggors of the league, same injury half a season vuckic weve not even really started the season the timeline on this lads recovery rate is alarming, coming into his 4th season at the club and he’s spent under half a season on loan and the rest on the treatment table

    I doubt anyone here wants to write his career off and no one wants to see anyone seriously injured but you cant ignore the fact that other youngster, later on the scene, are overtaking him in the pecking order and you cant help but feel this injury may leave him well and truly in the background by the time he’s fit again every season that passes on the sidelines is another season of development gone

    I wonder how many of you chaps, sounding off, would recognize Haris Vukic or Dan Gosling if they shagged your missus or stood next to you in the lottery queue? (They usually buy two hundred, top tip). Blether, F*****G Blether. Maybe you’d spot them from their profile on Fifa? I like Fifa meself. Especially losing games. Makes it more, er, realistic………

    jeff, abeid is a good kid and if AP dosnt bring him in now especially the europe games he wont ever, with gosling and vucic out.

    get the feeling amalifatano will get more of a look in hes versitile and will do a job for us.

    Jail is a proper fan. Probably not of that generation that is so used to taking it up the arse that they have to pretend it’s consensual. I’s love to get that vein throbbing in your daft neck. But I have work tomorrow.

    Solano did you read Ryders article today. Had to drag Supermac out of the pub for some quotes to give some credence to his performance on Talksport.

  • 126 beefman13 // Oct 11, 2012 at 9:06 PM

    Mark saggers set lee ryder up, lee wanted to smack him in the mouth,

    saggers sounds like a smarmy brief.

    Talksport have wonga commercials on their programme!!

    bunch of hypocrites!

  • 127 tequilamag // Oct 11, 2012 at 9:11 PM

    Beef, a journalist should be able to answer questions. Saggers is hardly Paxman. Ryder brought up Liverpool and then refused to answer a follow up question as to what was wrong with the Liverpool sponsor then giggled like a daft kid. Pretty poor performance.

  • 128 beefman13 // Oct 11, 2012 at 9:13 PM

    BandB R U SHWERF?

  • 129 beefman13 // Oct 11, 2012 at 9:17 PM

    He giggled beacuse seggers was pathetic.

    why not just say what do you think about the wonga deal,

    instead of antagonising him with the there a bit dubias to be fair add on before the interview started.

    lee ryder is a decent reporter for me, he is not stuck in the 2008 timewarp like quite a few others i could mention.

  • 130 Jail for Ashley // Oct 11, 2012 at 9:20 PM

    Beefman 13,
    I have done a bit of research after reading some of your posts,and itseems that because of your acceptance of those who commit crimes against children,the way you idolise as a father figure your abuser(Mashley) and the way you are prone to sudden outbursts of temper,make you the classic case of a victim of child abuse,I was starting to dislike you now I just feel a bit sorry for you.

  • 131 jawballsaswallwell // Oct 11, 2012 at 9:23 PM

    Locally born newsman covering Newcastle has got to be as plum a job for a Geordie male as possible, and the best the journal can muster is that burnt out hack Lee Ryder. It’s humiliating!

    Less kidnap him from the bar, chuck him in a big hessian sack, toss him in the Tyne and install Carryingcoals in the position. Who’s with me!

  • 132 BandB // Oct 11, 2012 at 9:23 PM

    I’m sure I must be. If you say so. I would quite like to pass away some time discussing football with you though. If you’d like, cos all this abuse is boring for everyone else.
    NOT THAT YOU EVER DO IT!
    So, notwithstanding that people who come on your blog and piss you off by not agreeing with you….
    Llambias said the new deal was the equivalant of a new player on the pitch. Which new player do you think we’ll buy?

  • 133 Pushy Pardew // Oct 11, 2012 at 9:52 PM

    Beefman
    Easy Ryder was next to pathetic the whole interview was painful. If he had nothing to offer on the subject then why agree to comment, it was a lame contribution on behalf of the region. Can you imagine Henry Winter giving such a spineless performance. He really impressed on Sunday but does not share Ryder’s half a brain view. Lee should have summarised as Ian Toon did your argument. Instead of bringing other clubs into the debate a more general recognition that football is all about money would have been preferable. Instead he left listeners( you excluded) believing qui cum canibus
    concumbunt cum pulicibus surgent. Stop defending the indefensible and slating Ibiza . EXIT TO Na,na,na,na,Beefman.

    That said do you really want to play, you sounded like a right little shit before, TYPICAL BULLY TACTICS THAT WAS.

    you would rather MA and his team fail more than see NUFC succeed.

    I would love to see you do a lie detector test on that one!

    not just you of course but the other lemon suckers on here. but you first,

    and you are a coward i just know you are.

    oh and pushy i see you are getting naughty as well.

    best get of the blog before you get a smacked arse.

    and you are a coward i just know you are.
