Sad, isn't it? The club with probably the greatest midfield pairing I have seen in my life - Xavi and Iniesta - are now a basket case.

Tbh, I think Barca and Real have always been a bit of a circus.

Recommend the Figo documentary on Netflix, very good.

what makes you think we on't see Hayden until then? Last update was he was already back to running already - I expected to see him in a few weeks, hopefully before the end of September..

Have you heard something else?

He’s back running.. but hasn’t kicked a football yet. So it’ll be a while before the knee is really tested.. no chance he’ll make an appearance in September. Possibly October, but from the bench only. Ready to start.. I can’t see it this side of the World Cup, and that’s assuming no issues with rehab and reintroduction.

Fynn thingy is back from loan. Is this news? Can he improve us?

[Google Bot 3,259]

Sky sports news is so bland nowadays, finding it a really hard watch.  Wish I watched United match now.

I'd be careful with that judgement. I'm pretty sure that Smith has said that they always expected Hayden to miss around the first 5-7 weeks of the season. I believe we are around 4-5 weeks into that predicted period. So by the sounds of it, he is currently on course to be back in that time frame.

He might not start straight away. That is before the end of September though. So I guess we'll have to see.

A weird window where even Port Vale are signing Serie A players!

Vale sign Serie A striker...

Port Vale have made two season-long loan signings - strikers Dennis Politic from Italian Serie A side Cremonese and Dan Butterworth from Blackburn Rovers.

Both players are 22.

If he’s only started light running there’s no way he’s back in 2 weeks.

No clue what hes like as a player but I really want Butterworth to do well simply based upon his fantastic surname

Have they said "light running"? I've looked through a couple of articles and pressers and it says he is "back on the grass and running", no mention of "light running". That was from the 29th in the build up to Tuesday's game. It's fair to say that it's likely that would have happened during the week before. 

We're at about four and a half weeks. He has two and a half to be back in full training which seems about right. Remember he's not recovering from the actual injury now, he needed his knee cleared out which is more about the swelling coming down etc and no further reactions. Fingers crossed we're there and on track.

The World Cup starts on the 20th November. I think that's something like 12 weeks from now. If he progresses as well as he is said to be at the moment, I can't see it taking 12 weeks. Yes, he needs minutes. But Sara was in a similar position, though the cup games were used to get him those minutes. I suspect U23's might be used to help him get minutes under the belt too.

[PockthorpePete 331]

I think it's about getting 'match sharpness now. Games are not about getting fit. That can be done anywhere. It will be about how the knee reacts to a crunching tackle or a sharp turns etc, He should be ready beginning of Oct after the 2 week break.

Where is that left back?

I wouldn't mind a three month punt on Danny Rose

Not if Watford don't want him. Must be a reason they're getting rid.

Someone pop down the Asda car park, only 25 minutes left.

No thanks regarding Danny Rose. Rather go with what we have.!

great

[Canaries north 151]

Well the Danny Rose thing made my Watford friend laugh. His reply was he hopes we do sign him as it would help all the other teams in the league. He also said Kenny is probably a better left back now than Rose.

Weren't we after Politic a few years back when he was at Bolton?

[PurpleCanary 5,554]

The best summer transfer window since the Buendia-Pukki-Krul incomings of 2018, and may prove to be even more consequential. No-one gone we didn't want to see gone and the significant business done early, with the arrival of a potential starting-eleven midfield spine of Hayden, Sara and Nunez. Plus a no-option-to-buy loan deal that gives Tzolis a chance to prove himself for us for next season.
