[Hafnia]

"Stevie P" for Pienaaar??? - seriously Roberto just stop it with that immediately, the RS will be onto that and do you for copyright infringement, apart from that it looks sad.

[Romey 1878]

Please don't play Osman instead.

[bluenosetoffee]

I would play McGeady on the left and Mirallas on the right and Naismith behind the big man Lukaku.

[MC11]

I wouldn't play a mcgeady at all. But with there being no other legitimate options he'll probably play.

[Matt]

so then you would play him?

[London Blue]

McGeady will come good with a run in the team, he can open up defenses and provides us with an option.

 

A hell of a lot better than Osman on the wing (shudders!)

[Romey 1878]

And still nothing about Barkley... I find it unbelievable that they don't know how long he's out for.

I reckon they know the extent of Barkley's injury but are keeping it quiet because its bad news

This for me.

My thoughts exactly! That's why I said it was unbelievable that they don't know yet.

[Shukes]

Heard that Rm has turned his ankle and could be out anything between 6 months and 17 minutes.

TBC!

Though other reports suggest he scored a hat trick in a behind closed doors match last night where he played phenomenally!

[Paddock]

If that's the case (and I suspect it's true myself) then they should just be honest with the fans and tell us.

 

Regardless of the situation, it's going to come out eventually. If it's a bad one then it's a bad one. Hiding the truth wont change anything.

 

Just announce it and stop keeping us all in the dark.

[J*A*C*K*E*L*Z]

I have absolutley no idea why but i think its going to be good news about barkley! Im usually really really negitive about this sort of stuff but ive got good vibes for this one!

 

 

Maybee they think that too but dont want to pit a time scale on it e.g saying that gibson and kone were targeting to play against city at home last year sounds absolutley pathetic now looking back on it.

[MC11]

Martinez & injuries. No1 will have it.

[chicagoblue]

Anything on Pienaar?

[c1982]

Oviedo and Kone are both starting for u21s today.

[Sibdane]

Great news!

[MikeO]

Oviedo and Kone are both starting for u21s today.

 

Lost 2-0, but Oviedo played the whole game and Kone played eighty minutes.

[Cornish Steve]

Can't wait to see them both back in the first team - especially Kone because he'll really want to prove his doubters wrong.

[J*A*C*K*E*L*Z]

If kone manages to get himself fit and scoring goals and playing well again....

 

And then trots off to the african cup of nations i think my head may accccctually fall off

[gethinO]

Looks like both will be available for selection in 2 weeks. Am I right in saying that Pienaar was back training last week and that Distin and Eto'o were only precaution? That means that it's only Barkley unavailable and he could be back at the start of November. Will be nice to have a fully fit squad as it's something Martinez has never had as of yet.

[MikeO]

Specially if he picks up an injury there .

[Hoof_It_Nev]

Doubt he'll be selected if he hasn't been playing much tbh

[gethinO]

Distin and Eto'o fit for Thursday. Kone and Oviedo nearly fully fit and Hibbert is back for the Carling Cup. That leaves Barkley and Pienaar. Pienaar should be back soon though!
