I didn't take offence to your comments, sorry if I came across otherwise.

And I'm intrigued to see that calling someone a snowflake earns a warning, but calling them a pickled onion does not.

As the boss said, back to talking about McCarthy.
Snowflake has certain connotations. Pickled onion is just plain silliness. Khal probably laughed too when he saw that.
 
I'm sorry the lad has suffered such a serious injury but he absolutely should have been shipped out LONG ago. It will be another 18 months at least now before we see the back of him and that's annoying I think, getting injured shouldn't be a get-out card for being a useless waste of space.

How long has he got left in his deal? If we offer him a new one whilst he's sitting out recuperating I will throw a fit.

Are the two not kind of linked?
 
I wish the lad as quick a recovery as possible, the good thing is these days he will be looked after by
insurance cover, it will help his family also. I never rated him as a player for us, but who cares
about what I think?
 

You do realise he was just coming back from a long term injury and the Spurs game was possibly just his second game back.

A player I rate. He brings the aggression into our midfield play that we are now going to miss badly. His bravery and commitment was the cause of his injury and the very thing he most needed..an unbroken run in the team.. has been denied to him again.

That I can remember every manager that has worked with him and played his as often as possible including when he wasn't fully fit .
And all those managers have been hounded out of the club for being rubbish.
 

Is the leg bone stronger after this type of injury? I would be terrified coming back after this type injury and being tackled heavily.:oops:

Dunno, but Ive always thought that's the reason Barkley seldom committed himself to tackles after his break. Id be scared sh**less too!

I'd hope it's something the club is actively considering.

When fit he's virtually always been a first team mainstay. You've got to assume the doctors will work their magic and he'll be back fit and strong so a contract extension is a great psychological boost.

Likewise I hope Martin O'Neil invites him into a couple of squad get togethers later in the year to keep him buzzing on the international front.
