Agree with this, although the joke wears off when you factor in the fact the wages of Abdi and many many others have, and will continue to set back this club financially for a generation.

There used to be a joke going around the building sites where I worked about a joiner who kept deliberately injuring himself because he didn't know how to build a spiral staircase. Maybe he doesn't remember how to play football anymore so he poked himself in the eye!

Bert Troutman went fishing with a broken neck.

 

Bert Trautmann played football with a broken kneck.

Not surprised his eyes are injured after watching us this season. 

 

I nearly gouged my own eyes out after the last few games.

Next week it will be something else.

Abdi is the biggest disappointment of the whole squad for me.

 

[coe_22]

Surely the club can sue Abdi under the trade description act calling himself a “Footballer”. I’m horrified by how much money this fraud has stolen from our club!  Fanny Jeffers mk2

The disappointing thing for me is that we didn't need an Abdi-type player in the summer of 2016. We needed a physical central midfield enforcer.

 

The second disappointing thing was the hype on his arrival - both some on here stating how good he was, which was presumably based on his Watford days, and secondly CC saying he's a starting XI signing and Abdi saying he was promised a central position.

 

Clearly the subsequent 'injuries' have affected his performances, appearances and confidence. But even when he has been 'fit' he's not really had any impact or played.

 

Sort of symbolic of the last two years at the club.

[Cypriot Owl]

Guess we will have to keep an eye on him then.

[GoldGigsChris]

Some people would rather stab themselves in the eye, than do an honest days work.

[Glenn59]

might have been his Jaaps eye?

A mate of mine was off work for three months when a railway carriage ran over his finger.

 

Mind you, he was picking his nose at the time.

[SiJ]

I just don't buy it. 

 

Injury after injury. 

 

Didn't Jurgen Klopp recently pull up Sturridge on his continual problem with "injuries". 

 

I don't know what the problem is with Abdi, but I just get the sense that the bloke will find any excuse not to play. I know that's a pretty serious accusation to level at a professional footballer, but that's the conclusion I've reached. 

[Ever the pessimist]

Unlike the Rhodes and Fletcher signings I was genuinely excited by Abdi signing. There was always a slight doubt about who would make way but as I saw him as an upgrade on Bannan or Lee it should have been one of those good problems.

 

 

[Glenn59]

Time his contract was just torn up and him shipped out the door. Let him try and sue the club and prove his case. Can't wait to see the low loader bringing his medical reports to court

[Owlstastic]

Don't fret. Abdi's had an emergency eye op and is now trying out his new gigs. 

 

Here he is perfecting his Jordan Rhodes thumbs up technique. 

 

Back in a fortnight.....

 

 

FFS!

[pgmetcalf]

Would be worried if I thought he added something to the team
