DCJonah Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Think he signed up for a charity game organised by Rio Ferdinand for middle of September so he must feel he will be fit soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted August 9, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 9, 2014 That's good. If on form he could make a real difference. I really do hope we actually play him in the middle rather than trying to play him on the wing like countless managers have done during his career.

Rob182 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Think he signed up for a charity game organised by Rio Ferdinand for middle of September so he must feel he will be fit soon.Is that wise, him playing a charity game? I know it's not exactly going to be strenuous for him, but he seems to be able to pick up injuries by just running in training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was genuinely interested how much he actually played in terms of minutes. If it's based on appearances then you could say even Sylla played a lot of games last season.

I'm honestly not sure but I will have a look later and find out mate. No worries. I can see how it looked related. Just had a quick look and it was 790 minutes last season and 619 the season before. Not sure how much of that was down to injuries or just not being selected. It's not much playing time but enough to add a vital contribution in certain games when every point is so important. I'm not expecting much from him to be honest but at least he adds experience and depth to the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P3te Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 There are 3,420 minutes in a regulation premier league season, with an additional 6 on average in stoppage time, so a total of 3,648 minutes (roughly) on offer for every player. In the last FIVE YEARS Joe Cole has managed 3,629 minutes total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't on a pay as you pay contract but it is a base pay that is supplemented by appearances. If he plays and contributes great if he doesn't well it won't be that costly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good stuff and fair play to him for accepting that too. I'm sure he could've got a decent set wage in the MLS or something. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heid3ster Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Back in training according to the OS. We haven't seen much from him yet but I was impressed by how comfortable he is on the ball and his awareness on the pitch, always seemed to know where all his teammates were at all times. A real calmness to his play also. It's a shame that with his injury record we can't rely on him to play more games. He could be a very good influence on players like Westwood and Delph. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
