Pardew seems reluctant to play him. We've been without Tiote for a while and Abeid hasn't been anywhere near getting a start for us. Yeah he has, but he's come out and said he wants to go out on loan so I figure he isn't expecting to be picked. He's never played for them yet either so I'm not sure he'd be going with them.
I knew he'd been playing International games, but I didn't think it was every week since the start of October until now.
They play every 2 weeks I think, which is **** because we need him here and I'm unsure if he's even back yet.
Seems slightly unfair on our part if we're paying his wages and we don't get to have him anywhere near our team for 3 months.
Abeid's just got back I think. There was an article the other day if I remember, Pards talked about wanting and expecting Abeid to step up and challenge for a first team spot now. Should see him in January. Although he also mentioned that Smithy was one of the players that Abeid would be challenging for a place But still, probably going to take his place on the bench sooner rather than later?
It like amazing, don't worry I am a much more experienced poster now, I am much better than I was before, I used to annoy to many and use the word I will use a quote for this "Mate", stupid, don't use it much anymore, I am more interesting and post much less, have more of a life to be honest. Hope there is more people who are happy with the return, know there will be a few that are not but hopefully I will win you over in the next few months.
