✍️ Welcome Michail Antonio

[fmgod]

Antonio should be the first winger on the team sheet, he’s our most effective player in that position and his stats over the last 15 months back that up.

He's our Sterling, he looks baffling, goes from Sunday League to Champions League but somehow chips in with goals and assists from time to time(obviously not to the same level as Sterling)

[hammerman11]

he offers something different pace power strength and goals which our other midfielders do not. fine having little oases but we need to stretch teams and Iron Mike is the only one to do this.

Antonio and haller up top would be interesting

midfiled 4 of rice noble Anderson and fornals behind them

[Albie Beck]

He's not a winger but his role is as a sort of Mane, but without the full set of clubs. He's just about the only one other than Haller who offers pace, a physical presence and a bit of ability to hold on to the ball under pressure.

100% Arguably our most effective player for the last 3yrs, 29 now & in his prime, release da beast. When playing teams trying to build from the back his muscle & tenacity causes danger. I saw our best attacks coming from forcing mistakes high up the pitch vs City. Lanzini can't run/dribble/sprint further than 30 metres without ****ing out, so have him further forward closer to Haller & within his range of mobility. We need more beast mode mentality throughout the midfield, press high & force mistakes in their half, where our creatives are.

One of the first names on team sheet for me.

Just for the sake of variety.

I thought I saw on one of our players Instagram stories (may have been Ogbonna's) that Antonio started training again already!

Was it ever actually reported how serious his injury was? Presumably that means it wasn't as bad as first feared.

Not even close to training again. He’s out for another 3/4 months.

It looked one of those hot, burning ones. Had one or two of those in my time and ****ing painful they are too

saw that on twitter too
Assumed they meant rehab but who knows
Said serious hammy and out for 4 months initially

[norse]

He's started rehab.

[traxop]

Hopefully he'll make his comeback sometime in the new year.

[HammerAl]

Looked like he was smashing it on that bike. Hope he’s not rushed back, but wouldn’t be surprised if he’s brought back in before the new year.

That video just highlights what a legend he is. Probably one of the nicest and engaging dudes in football
Will make a very successful pundit when he retires

[hammerman11]

just wish he could stay fit. imagine a season of full on Iron Mike. top 6 we would be top 3 easily. such a threat and really missed. pace power directness and goals.

hopefully back in January . I reckon we will see him in the first team before reid !

He cannot be eligible to be a pundit. He has not played for the bin dippers.

[OFT]

That video's brilliant.

Way too charismatic to be a pundit.

[OFT]

So good I said it twice.

[bubbles1966]

I saw something today suggesting that he's miles ahead of where he was supposed to be in terms of regaining fitness, back in November instead of January.

Seems a decent nice guy doesn't he?

That is the difference between Iron Mike and Big Andy. Get well soon Michail, I want see you batter defences.
