Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,856 Posted January 3, 2023 Obviously it's not his fault he's injured, but if what he's saying is true, why the hell didn't they book this surgery in for the day after the Middlesbrough game, when we had a four-week break coming up? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The frustrating thing is that a fit and in firm Hayden is exactly end day we need and have needed for a while. Hope the surgery does the trick. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yellowrider120 783 Posted January 3, 2023 Really desperate time for the player with the knee injury clearly never healing up 100% to withstand the rigours of professional football. Would explain the recent fall off in his performances after an outstanding display at Rotherham. Surprised if he plays much more this season to be honest as we / he HAS to get this right for his own future. We should all wish him a thorough and speedy recovery.

Dean Coneys boots 1,406 Posted January 3, 2023 It’s desperately sad for him- but ultimately he isn’t our player. Time to terminate the loan and get in someone who can help us now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,276 Posted January 3, 2023 We have our own Adam Idah coming from back from serious injury so be nice to him as well. I'm all for cutting a bit of slack to injured players but let's do it to one of our own as well. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is the sad truth Time to sign a couple of young CDMs not yet at the level and develop them properly! Give them opportunity ….

Unless he and his medical team are stupid, it’s probably because they thought there was a good chance it wouldn’t be necessary. Turns out they were wrong, but an infallible ability to see into the future isn’t a prerequisite to work for the club despite what some posters would like.

Turns out they were wrong, but an infallible ability to see into the future isn’t a prerequisite to work for the club despite what some posters would like. I'm not a medical expert, but if he's having to get his knee drained every three days and is unable to train more than twice a week to prevent his knee swelling up, it hints that surgery will be inevitable sooner rather later. I get that maybe they hoped four weeks of rest would resolve it, but presumably that was more hope than expectation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,315 Posted January 3, 2023 The one thing we need to learn from Jarvis & Byram that we shouldn’t risk turning this into a permanent signing, at 27 he’s not going to get over a long term injury like this quickly. We really need to shift him back to Newcastle and get two loans sorted in January! Sad for Hayden decent enough player but not our problem. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,666 Posted January 3, 2023 I feel for him but this was exactly why people were questioning his signing at the time and as the season went on. It isn't his fault he's injured. It is our fault we signed a player recovering from a serious knee injury who hadn't kicked a ball in 6 months for probably the biggest weak point in our squad. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know that the club, or Newcastle, will be paying the creme de la creme of private surgeons for operations like this, but that doesn't mean there are no waiting lists at all and you can just pick any time and day for surgery, I'm assuming they don't sit around waiting for calls today to see if they have work next Tuesday. More people than ever are using their savings to go private due to NHS waiting lists, so I'd assume that they are all pretty damn busy right now. Just had a little google and Spire (a popular private provider) are currently quoting a waiting time of 3-4 weeks for knee surgery https://www.spirehealthcare.com/spire-harpenden-hospital/patient-information/private-procedure-waiting-times/ Also, he isn't our player, would it even be us booking this in? Wouldn't it be Newcastle? We can't go messing around with the knees of other clubs players can we? Edited January 3, 2023 by TeemuVanBasten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're not just limited to their own country, so I'm sure there would've been an elite clinic somewhere available had Norwich and/or Newcastle wanted to get it done.

I edited my post to add this bit: "Also, he isn't our player, would it even be us booking this in? Wouldn't it be Newcastle? We can't go messing around with the knees of other clubs players can we?"
