Osula Out For At Least A Couple Of Weeks

What a surprise...


Not.


I noticed he was limping after he had that chance midway through the first half and he was still limping 10 minutes after - I was saying "he needs to come off" so many times that my wife told me to belt up.


You can normally run a knock off in less than five minutes and I was amazed he came out for the second half, only to then be subbed not long after when he wasn't able to continue.


If Osula couldn't run off whatever it was after c15 minutes, and any treatment at HT, the risk was he would only make it worse.


And so it turns out.


What is also baffling is that the bench didn't instruct Osula to go down so that the injury could be assessed. It wasn't a good decision all round.


We've all been singing MJ's praises but Osula should have been subbed way before half time.


Now, Wissa after a cracking game as a 10, will have to play as a ST.


He can't be risked against West Brom so young Neave may well get his chance.


Willock was another who stayed on too long against Strasbourg when he was feeling an injury and, although he was expected to miss a couple of weeks, he was in the squad against Liverpool.


Woltemade or Ramsey may now get a start against Spurs unless a very quick signing is ready to make their debut.


LATEST ON PARDO: The Athletic say Newcastle are not expecting to complete a deal.

Full details of deal aren't yet disclosed but reading that article put up by Richard and assuming Gonzalez didn't regress at Man City, to get him at quoted price £47M + £3M really does seems like a steal in today's market especially between PL clubs 🤔


....and as yet no attempted hijack


Man City being kind to us or Ross Wilson showing good negotiation skills ....or something else at play? But what?? The usual buy back etc clauses?


Apparently we have been working on deal under radar for some weeks before it inevitably got into press


Possibly Man City didn't want one of their direct rivals ( like Liverpool?) to benefit when they needed to raise funds for their bi…

Just read this on Nico Gonzalez, best one i have read on him. Think MJ probably really wants him and thinks he can get the best out of him - probably told the player that too! I think he will suit MJ's play, he wins the ball but those 5-10 metres surges forward with the ball and then an intelligent, accurate forward pass is probably what he wants from him. If MJ can develop him we could have a very good player and no regrets over bl--dy Tonali and Bruno.

Yep, agree, Saratoga and Wissa's run as well!! I gotta say I like the way MJ seems to want to play. More of that - it will trouble a lot of teams, I think, especially when our boys get confident playing that way and with each other.

Gazza, Waddle, Ginola, I wanted them to do well when they left.


With the current exits, Gordon.
