Jusoda Kid 1 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 (edited) Sky sports reporting that Parker will be out for 8 weeks after a Knee Operation today. This is unfucking believable Newcastle have suffered another major injury blow with the news that Scott Parker faces up to two months on the sidelines. The former Chelsea midfielder missed Monday's draw with Middlesbrough and it has now been discovered he is struggling with a knee problem. Tests have shown the full extent of the knee injury and Parker has already undergone surgery on the problem. It is expected that the tough-tackling midfielder will be missing for eight weeks with the injury. The injury is another of a long list of problems to affect Graeme Souness' side. Michael Owen joined the long-term casualties last week after a breaking a bone in his foot in the 2-0 defeat at Tottenham. Souness has been unable to field his strongest side this season due to injuries and Parker now joins Owen, Kieron Dyer and Emre on the treatment table at St James' Park.

Shearergol 0 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Bet Bowyer is as gutted as we are. Doubt he'll be allowed to leave now. Perhaps we could bring in Ian Durrant as cover though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isegrim 9899 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Gives Souness even more excuses though doesn't it. Isegrim keeps mentioning relegation. I'm starting to believe him. 73968[/snapback] I'm actually quite worried indeed. When I look at the table I don't start at the top anymore but from the bottom. With the injuries I don't think closing the gap to the likes of Bolton and Tottenham is a realistic prospect. There have been other clubs who thought they were too good to go down faced similar situations and from what I have seen in recent games even when we had Owen and Parker in the team I was worried... Regardless of who is managing the team, but the board has to act and secure that at least on short term a manager has a sufficient number of Premiership players available to his disposal.

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 It's just another excuse he can point to when he does get sacked. Parker has been the one plus for me this season, looks like a Lee Clark - Lee Bowyer partnership for the New Year. Fuck me gently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emre 0 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Chelsea midfielder missed Monday's draw with Middlesbrough and it has now been discovered he is struggling with a knee problem. Parker actually sustained the injury against West Ham last month, but played through the pain barrier against Tottenham last weekend. Tests have shown the full extent of the knee injury and Parker will be forced to undergo surgery on the problem. It is expected that the tough-tackling midfielder will be missing for between three and five weeks. The injury is another of a long list of problems to affect Graeme Souness' side. Michael Owen joined the long-term casualties last week after a breaking a bone in his foot in the 2-0 defeat at Tottenham. Souness has been unable to field his strongest side this season due to injuries and Parker now joins Owen, Kieron Dyer and Emre on the treatment table at St James' Park.
