Its happens to some players. Im sure if he could help it he would prefer not to be injured. Can't believe the attitude people have towards him. Like do you genuinely believe hes choosing to be injured? How is he a fraud of a footballer with plenty of appearances to his name, international caps and has played in the Prem. Some of our fans must never get injured or ill. **** me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sultan_Pepper Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Honest question.....if we're inside FFP for the last 3 years and we have teams interested in our players does it make sense to sell them on August 1st so they are into next years accounts as opposed to last years? Would that buy us more wiggle room? And that basket is hanging. Whoever put it there hung it. It's was hung, hanging in the garden. I was sat, I am sitting. I ran, I am not now running. I thunk.

Costello 77 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Couldn't we have got an insurance claim in on him if his injuries are so chronic? Thought that's what expensive insurance was for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarn owl Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Jos will work his magic like he did with Nuhiu. Abdi will be picking up the player of the year award along with the championship title on May 5th. We will have picked up 101 points and beaten the pigs 3-0 twice with Abdi scoring 2 perfect hat-tricks. It's July 31st so i can dream whatever i want and you can't say i am 100% wrong yet. Seriously if we get him fit maybe Jos can get a tune out of him, That or he will move to Switzerland like has been mentioned before. But don't slag him off for attending a wedding in pre-season. Honestly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, makes sent. You want your spend to drop off sooner but you want your income offset to last into later years if you're about to lose a year off the start of an old three year period and don't need to pad it out you would wait to sell wouldn't you?

Mate I'm not just on about his injury record, apart from playing a beautiful 2 yard pass to the person next to him what does he offer? I honestly would play anyone in the u23's over a fully fit abdi from what I've seen he's gash, never seen a player crap himself as much as he does when he gets in oppositions box, shocking player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To say he craps himself in an opposition box, just watch some of his goals ffs. Absolute disaster signing for us, so so disappointing, but that doesn't mean you just brandish him as having no ability and being rubbish. Probably has more ability on the ball in his right foot than most in our squad, unfortunately we just haven't been able to get that out of him and probably never will.

Groundhopping Owl Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Swiss press reported that FC Zurich were interested in bringing him in, but lack of money meant that he'd have needed to take a wage cut of more than 50%, which is more than likely why no move has materialised for him as of yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
