Gemmill 44232 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 From the Chronicle, Monday: "It's a fair bet that Michael Owen will not play again this season and neither will Shola Ameobi once he has an operation on his hip in the next couple of weeks." Quotes from Roeder made last week regarding the number 23: Shola's carrying this hip injury and it's a condition which isn't going to go away,. He's waiting for surgery and whether we can get him through to January is debatable. "Hindsight's a beautiful thing and we went into the season probably not realising how much it had deteriorated. At the moment, he's not asking for the operation but the hip's becoming very stiff and achy and, to be honest, in the last few days, it's started to show." Nicked from NUFC.com. Not the headline, that was all my own work. Anyway, it's looking like Shola will be going under the knife sooner rather than later. That would leave us with Martins, Luque, Sibierski and Rossi until January. Now as much as people complain about Shola, he's looked the one striker on our books capable of scoring goals before his hip really deteriorated. I don't see Luque getting much of a game, so we're down to Rossi and Martins as the first choice pairing, any injuries and we're screwed. Amazingly a load of idiots on NO (our very own MattM4 included ) are celebrating this news. Quite what there is to celebrate about a team 3 points off the bottom of the Premiership losing one of only a handful of strikers from an already shit strikeforce, and the ONLY one that's looked capable of scoring regularly this season, is beyond me.

East Stander 0 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 So who will be sold to fund any strikers as we are that skint it will have to be "sell before we buy"? The only two obvious deals where we could get any decent money back are Milner and Emre imho James, make sure you have your digs sorted out for Birmingham after Christmas son.

Dr Gloom 21783 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 luque should look at this as a chance to put himself in the shop window. he's basically our only other option unless we promote a couple of kids. ...what was it leazesmag was saying about planning again?

TOPTOON 0 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 very bad news and very bad planning by nufc as should have had that at the end of last season. Now our best team is: Harper Car Taylor Ramage Baba Milner Parker butt Zoggy Sib Duff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc-mag 1 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Shola is genuinely sub-standard and in truth its an horrendous indictment of the (overall) management of the club that he's still part of first team selection in the 2006/7 season, however having said that he's also been our most effective striker this term and unless we do get someone in then we're going to miss him badly and perhaps fatally. Before I'm accused of defective logic, that admission is not a contradiction of the first point-the fact that we have nobody to replace him is a sign of even more spectacular mis-management.

luckyluke 2 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 It's about time. Whatever you think of Shola's abilities *cough*MattM4 prolonging a player's operation that was plainly needed in the summer this long is ridiculously unfair on the man.

snakehips 0 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I wish we could find out exactly what advice NUFC received regarding Sherla's hip. Quite why they didn't bite the bullet at the first opportunity and have the op, just bewilders me. As has been said, pinning our hopes on Shola Ameobi *shakes head in pure disbelief*. Have we really sunk this low, or am I dreaming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The was no need for hindsight like, it was known in the summer he needed the operation and it was idiotic to delay it for the sake of the intertoto cup. How screwed are we now?

ChezGiven 0 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Does anyone know the exact nature of the hip problem? 'Hip' problem tell us nothing, it could be a massive number of different aspects of the hip (acetabulum, femoral head, cartilage, ligaments, tendons etc). Some of the problems are not possible to predict without invasive diagnostic tests. Imaging (ultrasound, x-ray) can only reveal certain things. Important to remember it would have been an orthopaedic surgeon who looked at it not Winsper or Roeder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me if he's completely fucked it though, by being forced to play on it whilst on steroid injections.

If, for example, he had child dysplasia and this is a deterioration of a long standing problem, i know that this is pretty impossible to predict. I got my orthosurg level 1 badge a few years back.

Scottish Mag 3 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 From .com Golf watch - we hear that wor Shola is still managing to swing his ailing hip on the golf course. If you spot the stumbling striker on a fairway near you, drop us a line. (Goswick is a favourite haunt of his, so we're told...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
