Newcastle United’s caretaker manager Chris Hughton has told the Official Newcastle website that he expects Ignacio Gonzalez to feature for the club again despite having yet recovered from an Achilles injury which has kept him out since the beginning of the season.
The Uruguayan midfielder has had a return date of mid March pencilled in for a while, but there has been no confirmation as to whether this is manageable.
Gonzalez, also referred to as Nacho, arrived on Tyneside on the last day of the Summer transfer window when Kevin Keegan was in charge and was expected by many to return over the winter months to Valencia from whom he is on loan. However from Hughton’s comments it looks like the club still have high hopes for the player.
Hughton said;
“I’m sure we will see Nacho this season. I really do feel for him.It’s been incredibly frustrating for him.
This is a lad who has missed most of the season apart from two appearances against Hull and West Ham.
He’s missed almost every game. I feel for him because he came here on a year’s loan to show what he can do.
He came here to play and that has been the big disappointment for him.”
But seriously, I have no problem with giving him a go if we're going to hold onto him either way. Then again, I've endured watching Smith play in midfield, so...
Sorry to those who dont like to encourage him, but NACHO, whats the crack with Gonzalez. Is he more of a winger or, as I think, a centre mid playmaker.
Does he have a previous bad injury record or is it the curse of Newcastle.
Do you think he could make it in the premier league or as I fear a little light weight.
Why did his team lone him straight out to us instead of playing if he is as good as you say.
Please give an biased view if you can. Sorry to everyone if this has already been talked about on older thread before I joined up.
Mister Hughton is a wise man .
If you think Nachito is not "that good" (hasn't had the chance to prove it) as Nico says and Meli supports ...then let's trust Mister H., it seems like he knows him more than any of us XP and if he wants him back...he knows ^^.
this was quite a funny thread. we had meliz (who is really nico aka nachostays) pretending that he doesn't really know as much about nacho as chris hughton. cracker!
you can now get hardware to scramble your IP, creating any number of identities, if you happen to be the type who enjoys this kind of sillyness. 'IP logged' is no longer the watchword in security for this kind of place, carys. remember the daft sods threat to joe, that he had 100 alternative id's ready to use to spam this site if he felt the need?
it doesnt take a genius to do it, just a bored kid with social issues.
annie Just because people agree with each other doesn't mean they are the same person.
quite right annie. that said, this chap has not hidden his intentions at all from day one, and like i posted earlier, he did threaten joe with 'multiple spamming' from 100 different usernames just a few weeks ago. the admin here have seen fit to ban this guy several times, each time the same person returns under a new name. given the fact that both current users show no interest beyond the twin subjects of nacho the player and nico the poster, it safe to assume that they are at the very least in cahoots within the aim of winding us up, and are quite likely to be the same person.
1) I am not Melissa.
2) I neither hate Newcastle United, nor love it.
3) The thing I stand for: "Nacho González is the one and only truly original playmaker from head to toe".
I think if we respected each other we could get on well easily.
Nothing has been proven yet.. therefore neither I will change my mind, nor you. It is not that hard.
Let's say the team & Nacho have had very bad luck. A lot. And we can say Nacho is Newcastle's secret weapon. As nobody knows him in the PL. They will soon though. Nobody can't prevent this.
