Davefevs Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 On BBCRB: Nagy - could be back Wednesday and probably gonna time his fitness in time for international break. Suspended for first game, so likely to be fit for second. Kalas - not going with Czech Republic as he knows it would be the wrong thing to do.

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 'Time his fitness for international break'? I heard the Kalas bit, good to hear. The Nagy quote though, that unless I've misinterpreted doesn't sound too desirable given that playing for Hungary helped to exacerbate his current one!

Henry Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 I think you’re all reading too much in to it, he could be fit for Brentford or Reading. I think Johnson was more frustrated that the timing of his return will coincide with the internationals. The player has to be assessed by a national doctor, that’s a FIFA rule.

Henry Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 You can’t blame the player or their FA if Johnson says he could be on the bench on Wednesday. The next game he is eligible after is 11 days after! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobArnold10 Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 We need to take a small step back here. Club vs Country has been an issue for a good 20 years now, especially in the last 15. We have been to an extent fortunate enough that it hasn’t really effected us. So I do feel therefore, given that it’s a bit fresh for us there’s a slight tinge of overreaction. That said. It doesn’t stop it being frustrating and I don’t blame LJ being frustrated, we pay his wages and he’s going to Hungary when you have Kalas staying. Nagy isn’t doing anything wrong though and as others say, playing for your country is massive for a player. Annoying, but we gotta swallow it and hope it doesn’t go wrong...again.

bcfcnick Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 I think the LJ remark has to be taken in the context that Nagy shouldn't have played in the last international as he was not fully fit and it appears to have set his recovery back by a couple of weeks or more. Disappointing as he was looking a key player before the injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveF Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Nagy is a key player for Hungary, not surprised he’s desperate to play every match. 3 minutes ago, chinapig said: Fine, as long he doesn't expect to walk back into our team when it suits him.

Red Skin Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 From his interviews Nagy comes across as someone with integrity and 100% committed to the cause and if asked to do a job he'll do his utmost for the team. When he's with City he's 100% committed to City. When he's with Hungary he's 100% committed to Hungary. And I don't think there's any contradiction in that. I don't think anyone should judge Nagy, but you do wonder if the national manager is comprising his long-term fitness for the national cause.

bristolcitysweden Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 If you are new to a club and have injury concerns you don't play for your national team. Simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
