yellowrider120 917 Posted July 9, 2022 I did half wonder why (given the hype), no PL club didn't come in for him. Given Smiths comments from Germany, we now sadly have our answer. At least it wasn't an 'obligation' to buy, was it?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheBaldOne66 768 Posted July 9, 2022 Smith said his knee has swollen up, what a surprise!  As I said previously on a different thread and got slated for it, he’s another Normann!  I doubt he will play more than 25 games if we are lucky this season 🙈 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have a more upbeat view clearly. Time will tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkngood 1,174 Posted July 9, 2022 he has had a long lay off and a serious injury so really nobody knows how it will heal or how that will effect him in future even Doctors and medical staff can say yes you are all fixed then next game it can give way the one thing i would say is that is why he is here though a fully fit no injury Hayden would be in the PL not in the champs i have no idea if this is a ongoing thing that might go on all season or just because he is training again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope and pray this "swelling which is causing concern' can be quickly fixed with some rest and the correct treatment but I fear the Geordies saw us coming and were  pleased to offloaded him. Seems there were no other takers. Tells it's own story unfortunately. Might be back to Square One!!  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 10,762 Posted July 9, 2022 If he hadn't had the knee injury he wouldn't be with us, he would be playing in the Premier League at a midtable side. Bit of swelling after a long-term injury having joined in with the first week of pre-season - you'd have to say taking him out is sensible. Bit early to suddenly claim he won't play 5 games for us. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canaries north 155 Posted July 9, 2022 If it wasn't for the injury he would be playing at a lower level prem team. He's not a top half player despite what some people thought when he signed but is definitely better than the championship. For him to sign for us on loan for a season a risk has to be involved. I agree it's a risk in such an important position where we have very little cover that we trust but we will have to wait and see if the gamble works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canaries north 155 Posted July 9, 2022 I hope no one wants him to fail but it is a worry. I am personally still more worried if Pukki gets injured. He's 32 and still the only player in the squad I would put money on to score goals this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

'Waiting and seeing' isn't a strong trait on here though, people need to be judge, jury and executioner after five minutes for some reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Angry 2,017 Posted July 9, 2022 As I’ve said before, he was back in full training at Newcastle at the end of April. It was hoped that this would get him up to speed so that he would be ready to hit the ground running for the new season. It’s surprising that his knee has only swelled up now-maybe it is unrelated to his injury and operation.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love the optimism, I just don't see it myself. It will be interesting to see who is right come season's end. I'm guessing 20 between them with Idah getting most of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I most definitely disagree- I think Sarge can be important this year but I see this as basically printing money.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am really hopeful we will play Idah and Pukki together as we did before the injury last season as that looked really promising. My guess if he plays most games he would be into double figures. As for captain USA im expecting 2 or 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
