Fabian Schär

Going to miss him next season when Bruce/Charnley let him leave on a free, and replace him with Kevin Long or some benchwarming offcast picked up on a free.

Pass out to ASM for Willocks goal was class.

Could well have played his last game for us looking at that

Takeover or bust with him I feel. If it is his last games I'll remember the good days under Rafa where him and Lejeune were pure class.

I've proper jarred my knee before and been in agony on the pitch; fine a couple of weeks later.  Hopefully that's what has happened.

Gouffran went off on a strecther at WHL just after he joined right before the international break and was still starting the other side of it, so there is a chance he might be okay.

Please don't be injured for long. Just found his feet again! Did not look good.

Didn't Nees say we've got an option to extend his contract for a year? Was that reported anywhere?

It was in the Athletic.

If it’s any hope, I’ve not seen anyone do their ACL on that kind of impact before.

Normally it’s a buckle on a downward stamp, or a twist, or something innocuous.

His injury looked like a whack, possibly a hyper extension or as has been said a jarred. Fingers crossed, but might not be good at all.

Let's hope it's like Oba Martins away at Villa stretchered off with what was later described as a "severe dead leg".

I think he went in a little half hearted and as a result took a right jarring. Bednarek could easily have been off by then mind.

Just saw the BT interview with Bruce and he said it’s suspected knee ligament damage. Ankle ligament damage for Manquillo too. Gutted!

I was there with NSG, bowlingcrofty and PM. Shit performance and we thought our new star signing was out for the season. Surnburnt and miserable journey home 

Looked like it might be more of an impact injury than a ligament injury. Hope so anyway.

If that’s the case we’ve seen the last of Schar for Newcastle unless Bruce goes before the summer.

Not too bad considering that we really made the most out of the transfer window for once.

We have an option to extend for anther season.

Does Schar have to agree to that, though? Surely has to be mutual?

No, it's our option.  These are quite common in shorter contracts.

Bet he’s cursing his agent now.

The injury came about from yet another awful free kick attempt. We really need to invest in someone that can take set pieces in the summer.

That one yesterday was strange, it wasn't the most favourable angle to goal but appeared to suit Almiron much more; particularly after his excellent effort the previous match. He should be on them until we have a 'specialist' in the side.

miggy needs to be more assertive in a respectful way to the more senior players. he should have demanded that ball.

or the coach could have named him chief free kick taker around the box....

Out for the season

Surely we can recall Lejeune? Our only fit defender who knows how to pass a ball.

The way he went in for the second ball he was asking to get hurt.
