that's why teams have squads
Players get injured all the time.
I think Newcastle's problem is that when the transfer window was open Newcastle looked reasonably safe, so the fat boy didn't bother doing any business other than bringing in a loan kid from the Arsenal and getting rid of a right back. In the past when Newcastle have looked in any danger he's got his cheque book out, but this time it's too late, so his spend nowt/finish 17th/take the PL money policy is likely to bite him on the @rse.
The daft thing is that he doesn't trust his managers to buy players, so he does that himself.... liking a bargain as he does..... so instead of trusting the blokes who know their football, the daft turnip repeatedly scrapes the bottom of the bargain bucket and then on a whim inexplicably pays £40m for a striker who since being signed has managed 3 goals or something in the last 2 years (usually against lower league opposition in the cups) and who has had to be turned into a makeshift winger to try and prevent him from having to play in the reserves every week (if they even have reserve matches any more) and now that Wilson is out for the foreseeable, he finds himself scuffing every ball that lands at his feet. £40m!
In another year, Newcastle would have been safe enough (there are always 3 worse clubs... the fat boy depends on it), but Fulham are suddenly on a flyer and that's left Newcastle vulnerable. They deserve to go down and the fat lad deserves to lose a shed load of money.... and serves him right for taking the ssip with a football club
