And as he is still Sunderland'so player that was their responsibility and I think that's where LJ is looking in his comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I thought that even in his welcome video. I didn't get the feeling that he wanted to be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Can anyone confirm if he did the injury before the goal or did it go as part of the buld up and was in part responsible. Inbetween all the fracas in the south sand I missed him going off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esmond Million's Bung Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Professional footballers my arse, far too many party goers and money grabbers, 4 league games in and he still isn't fully FFS, send him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it was said Ayling was looking to play more so asked to move on. Crazy that we now have to go to transfer market for a replacement. But what can you do. Mathews out now until , well December then he has to get fit, Little struggling (not been same since that injury) and Vyner out for 6 weeks too (personally I do not think he is ready). We loaned Mathews and must have known he had not looked after himself. The big shame in all this, is that Ayling , without injury would now have been playing for the next 3 months , exactly what he wanted. But LJ not happy is he Johnson said: "I'm disappointed really and I think he will be disappointed as well. He had a hamstring last season and now he's done a different hamstring. I have my own thoughts on that and I'm not too chipper about it. "I'm a bit frustrated about it. I think players have to be ultra-professional in the modern game and not be old school. But old school, I mean having eight to ten weeks enjoying yourself and not coming back in peak condition for pre-season. He's now going to miss at least eight to ten weeks. The craziness of the situation is that we might end up with a loan RB who's bang average, possibly not up to match fitness and no chance of any change in four months. This is where MA and his team are going to have to pull the rabbit out of the hat and quickly. My guess is that they will and it could even be serendipity in that we end up with someone even better. It was unfortunate timing/decision with Ayling's departure but signing Matthews on loan as opposed to perm could be very astute in hindsight. So far at least, we look like we can compete and score but until we have a settled solid defence we don't stand a chance of making any real progression towards the top six.

Can we send him back? I assume we are picking up the vast majority of his prem wages, out to xmas now and as already said returning to us in no fit state to play is poor. very poor..

Ivorguy Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 He is not definitely out till Christmas, and from what Lee has just said it could be a matter of only days. Think Lee overreacted because he was cross with him for being unprofessional ( as Lee said post match) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess there might be some natural disappointment from his point of view, he is signed to premier league club, lost his place through injury put in some good performances here on loan, and could have at least expected the new manager to have a look at him before shipping him out again. He must feel that he hasn't even been given a chance to show what he can do there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 First little black mark against LJ and MA for me this. If we are supposedly doing our 'due diligence' and only signing players with the right 'DNA' then it sounds like Matthews slipped through the net if he's got an 'old school' attitude to being a professional footballer. The reason the move took so long was because of his silly Prem wages and if there's one saving grace it's that we're not lumbered with him on a fat 3/4 year contract. If it's as bad as LJ says then he gets one more chance for me to prove himself, if not send him back. He's a good right back at this level, but there are others out there who are just as good who we can bring in. Darikwa being a decent example.
