    ;ok

    'looks likely to be sidelines' and 'is unlikely to play again this season'

    Reasonable inferences, for me. Possible (with 9 week left) that we may see him in the last game or 2. I suppose it would depend on a variety of factors.

    The good news is we didn't give him that payrise he cried for.....

    ;thumbsup

    To be fair, whatever the owner has said about prospective time frames for his recovery, Sahko could easily have had a setback (e.g. like Butland in his recovery a while back when he looked close to a return and then was out for many more months). So whether someone likes the owners or not, I don't think it particularly fair to quote tweets that could easily be posting in total good faith as opposed to trying to mislead. I don't actually see what the motive would be for deceiving regarding his recovery time ;hmm

    Oh and that doesnt mean I am sticking up for anyone or knocking someone else, it's just a genuine opinion ( and everyone knows, my opinion is always correct ;run )

    The club, imo, is on a lose lose with some people. Say nothing and you are accused of hiding the truth, attempt to give the fans some information and have that distorted to be a definite promise on a situation which is out of your hands.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Tbh, the thing with Sakho is that we were led to believe he would be available for a chunk of this season as some sort of justification for not signing a striker in January, after not having signed one in the summer.
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    Perhaps a while back his recovery time was expected to be a certain length and now its not. Plenty of players have setbacks in rehabilitation. Our backs are a very tricky area. Its not like it was a hamstring or calf problem.

    I'll be very surprised if Sakho plays for us again regularly. He'll be fit (ish) by the end of the season,

    As a result of not paying close attention, I initially read this as 'he'll be fish at the end of the season' ;nonono ;puzzled



    ;doh
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    Surely that'll start the fish puns?

    Ok I'll start it

    'Sharkho fin-ished after shore jaws' I mean score draws ;run ;run (deserves at least 2 run aways)

    not before ;fishslap it doesn't...
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    ;lol

    I was getting visions of 'swimming with the fishes' scenario, which I thought was a bit of an extreme reaction to his injury. ;whome

    True but I have to say stuff like that because every time I go on a thread thats political or religion based I regret it. I'm firmly in the camp of Religion and Politics not being the best idea on a football forum. I've successfully kept away from the Uk is out thread and the Trump one for ages but the London terror one drew me in and I am now keeping away from that one ;yercoat
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    baz ;ok

    I've never liked the idea of telling users what they can and can't talk about.

    It seems to me stuff like that is going to come up from time to time, and having a dedicated thread that people can use or ignore seems to me the best way of dealing with it.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Trouble is Grey you get the 'wet paint' or 'keep off the grass scenario'. No matter how much people want to ignore those threads they get the urge to dab their finger or dip their toes in.
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    thron

    Can't be held responsible for people lacking restraint, now can we? ;wink
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    Whilst its my opinion (and desire to avoid them), I agree that having a dedicated thread is about the best solution. I wasnt suggesting getting rid of the political or religious threads despite them inevitably leading down paths where people disagree to a point where someone gets upset or offended. I've resisted actually commenting on them despite having my own viewpoint on any given topic that arises as I know its hard to step away when someone else types something that offends or provokes you to justify, clarify etc

    Anyway injuries... I see after Smalling nobbled Jones to get his place back in the Man Utd team, he then injures himself! ;doh ;lol

    Baz: "our backs are a very tricky area." Agree - especially the Right Back. ;adkins

    Just by winning doesn't make the remaining games any easier.
    Win or lose we stay up.

    Billie says Antonio could be fit for Arsenal.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Billie ( ;doh ) also says Sakho is training with the 1st team squad today with 'no restrictions'.
    Nobes is also back in the squad.
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    Currently toying between a 'Billie don't be a hero' response or a Billie 'because we want to' one ;hmm Either way you know I'll be urged to ;yercoat

    Wow that was a short month ;lol
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Can I just draw attention to the word COULD.

    Thank you.

    He did say he was in with a shout of playing against Hull.

    Steady.They might be trying to trick people into renewing their STs. Or something. And so maybe Slav is just saying what he's been told to say.

    Because, apparently, that's a possibility.Not one I believe, personally, But some do.
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Happened before... ;whistle
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    I wouldn't be foolish enough to renew a season ticket on the basis that a player may be coming back from injury but on an announcement that we were going to buy a top European/World striker now that is a completely different case. ;wink ;whistle
  • HammerwombatHammerwombat
    I would only ever renew a season ticket on the basis that I loved watching my team, and supported the club. ;scarf

    I've renewed mine....now why the hell did I go and do that?
    Fool you........ ;wink
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    We have really missed him.

    Big time

    If AC and Sakho had had just half a dozen or so games together recently we'd have already been past the safety post no matter how hopeless our defence was
