Ali Update

Posted by the man himself on Twitter, love this guy.

'2 full training in 6 months!Knee is reacting well, but legs" I need go to eBay and see if I can find 1 quad! 1 calf! And 2 new hammys!haha'

 

It would be easier to play on mackies shoulders! Perhaps we should be allowed runners like in cricket, then all Ali will have to do is pass it around the pitch....

 

Think he's saying it's all good but needs to get his legs back to peak performance levels, is he??

 

Certainly hope so, be a worry if he meant it literally.

 

He's saying he's cream crackered!!

 

What he is saying is he needs to build the muscle back up in his calf and hamstring. It is amazing how much muscle gain you lose i remember when i done my knee in and was out for 5 months my legs was so skinny where i lost all the muscle imagine as a footballer you are training everday using them muscles and then to stop for a long period it is unreal.

I remember my first session back just running was so hard, then you have hours of gym session to build up the muscles again.

 

His English is getting a lot better, must be all that time with Dyer in the treatment room. Got to have been him that taught him "hammy"......

 

I cant wait to see him playing with Diakite, I really think the 2 of them will form an excelent partnership.

 

We should sell him, he's too injury prone.....

 

He wont be in starting XI until november.

 

You may have a long wait !!

 

Just hope that he has the same impact as Jamie Mackie. It took him until the final third of the season to fire on all cylinders - now look at him, there's no looking back.

Let's hope we're posting similar platitudes in the New Year, it might sound negative, but it's probably pragmatic.

 

Sounds like they are having to work hard at training

 

Sadly this tells me that we won't see him much before November!!

 

I hope mid Sept but he'll still have to break his way into the team unless things are going badly, so November sounds about right.
