    But they don't train with the squad until they are 'fully' fit to do so, then it's conditioning etc.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    The don't train with the squad until they are injury free. That's not the same thing as being fully fit.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Agree. Fully fit to train with the squad is what I said.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    ;ok I misunderstood your comment.

    So they are ready to start their 'pre-season'.

    Which, depending on their residual fitness, and what their programme was during injury, will vary from player to player.

    Plus, Cressie is part bionic man, so always needs less training than normal human beings. ;whistle

    Can someone remind me, what exactly was the injury to Sakho? I think something was said about his back, but wasn't that just a smokescreen of sorts to cover up the sulks/bust up? How on earth can he still be so far away from fit?

    He's had a back problem since the Senegalese witch doctor did him up a kipper.

    They said that it could be with him all his career, he's been on medication for a long while.

    He didn't do a pre-season, at all. He didn't travel (rumour he refused).

    He threw his toys at the end of last season (AFC game - Sub) and had to apologise.

    When he went for his WBA medical he was neither remotely fit and they probably didn't fancy his back issue either.

    So as of the end of august he was probably 2 months behind everyone else.

    I still don't think Slav will play him. Unless he has absolutely nobody else.

    So, as I said, the back was basically just a smokescreen, how can he be so far behind everyone else? Even if he did no pre-season, our season started at the end of July, so he's had 2 and a half months already and he's still a month away? Something very not right there, I can only hope he's not been on full wages all that time.

    Sakho's on strike.

    Injury is a cover up.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    No, he has definitely had an injury. It was mentioned in one of the injury updates last month.

    Of course it is possible that the club's flat-out lying, and pressure was put on the Head of Medicine to put his name to a false report. (One for the conspiracy theorists out there ;wink )

    Luke. The 2 things aren't mutually exclusive. (That he has an injury and that he's disgruntled.)

    If that's the case it casts serious doubt yet again on our performance in the transfer market over the summer. Sakho on strike, Carroll injured, and we sign a 20 year old on a free, Calleri on loan and Zaza on a deal that means we might not be able to play him beyond next month as our only centre forward options without having to resort to players out of position (eg Antonio, Ayew).

    He's had an Injury.....

    But that's not the reason he won't be playing anytime soon

    I agree with the other conspiracy theorists, what injury? The nature of this injury or how it was incurred are never mentioned unlike every other injured player in the OS injury reports.

    Yeah, this was kinda what I was getting at, he was off the radar for so long, and now we're getting vague mentions of progress from the "Treatment Room" updates without really knowing what is supposed to have been the problem.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Maybe it's like Rav's Mysterious Groin?

    (Remember when Ravel Morrison kept complaining of a groin injury, and not training. Even though the medical staff couldn't find anything actually wrong.)

    ;hmm
  • alderzalderz
    How has @Diamantis_Are_Forever never had Ravs_Mysterious_Groin as his name?

    ;lol

    I think some users would have a field day with that

    In regards to Sakho he was at the ground for the Middlesbrough game and suggested he'd be back soon

    ;hmm run you say

    Ayew is back in full training... ;nolan

    ;wahoo

    Forgot we'd even signed Ayew.
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Slav says Ayew needs more time and probably won't be the squad for Sunderland. Carroll is going to be longer than expected, Sakho isn't even mentioned.
  • LukerzLukerz
    Carroll longer!? ;nonono

    Sakho situation is infuriating. Sounds like everybody needs to grow up.

    "Diafra Sakho is another whose fitness levels are improving every day and he will start training in controlled U23 sessions on Monday. He will then join the first-team squad the following week."

    He was mentioned in the Injury Update.
