Can't see him playing not good enough with others coming back to fitness.He wanted out in the summer so if fit guess he will want to leave in jan

When did he say he wanted to leave ?
 

Mikkel Damsgaard

He’s been unlucky with injuries, during which he was diagnosed with reactive arthritis, but he’s got something about him that shows he sees opportunities in games instinctively; he’s got a combination of attributes none of our other players have. He’s also not cost a fortune. IMHO he’s worth the effort in fitness and conditioning to get him back into the squad, always hoping he remains fit!

There were reports in Portugal at the end of the summer window he wanted to leave to play more when Sporting Lisbon were rumoured to want him on loan.

Clearly means he was desperate to get out :rolleyes:

Look at the stats 28 premier league appearances not a single assist just can't see what he brings to the team.
He was a very good very quick winger before his arthritis but since lost his pace.Now trying to convert him into a good attacking central midfielder but just not working as he just doesn't have the right skillset.

I agree he’s been a massive disappointment to date given our expectations but I just don’t think he’s ever been fully fit.
I accept that there will come a time when we might have to decide that he cannot recover form and fitness but I don’t believe it’s quite yet.

If that time comes, as seems likely it will, the club will make a massive loss on his transfer fee.

There was a period when he was getting a run of games and he was really starting to show those wonderful little passes that separate the good from the great.

I think he's a wonderful player, and if we're patient with him, I think he'll still 'come good'. He just needs to work on his conditioning, get himself fit, and I think he would be a wonderful part of a midfield 3 against weaker teams, and part of a front 3 against middling teams. Could also be an interesting option against the top teams, too, but Jensen is just so vital to us, and I feel we're just more likely to play a shuttler alongside him than a more creative player.
 

Mikkel Damsgaard

Many of these negatives comments resemble comments made about Jensen by similar impatient people. And look how Jensen has turned people's views around.

I'll keep faith with the recruitment and coaching team to turn him into a player that can fit into the system and perform.
 

Mikkel Damsgaard

I hope he doesn’t prevent YY from getting game time?!! Prefer to watch YY develop over Damsgaard.

Let’s be honest not every signing is a success and this is one of em…the money we’ve spent on him could have been used better…we all want him to succeed but let’s be honest I wouldn’t bet on this one…his fitness record is diabolical for someone his age…it might be better to cut our losses and move on ?

In terms of money spent it's pocket money in the PL in relevance to us it's a big fee. But even £30/40m doesn't ensure you've signed a PL quality player.

Taking risks is the only way we can complete financially.

This is a risk we’ve lost heavily on…one good game v Fulham and not a lot else ….we need a lot more ?

I believe both are very different in style of play but would compete for the ‘third place’ with a fit Nørgaard and Jensen. I think a fit Damsgaard and Yarmolyuk would be a decent complementary pair of 8’s.

All the bloke did was pick up an injury the same way half our other players have.

This could be cut verbatim from page 1 of this thread, though. Arthritis is degenerative, and it seems to me less and less likely he’ll ever meet the high standards his young talent suggested. I hope I’m wrong…

Reactive arthritis is a condition that causes redness and swelling (inflammation) in various joints in the body, especially the knees, feet, toes, hips and ankles.

It usually develops after you've had an infection, particularly a sexually transmitted infection or food poisoning.

In most cases, it clears up within a few months and causes no long-term problems.

Clock must be ticking on Damsgard. Ive nothing against the lad but he seems to be dogged by bad luck and on-going health issues. We've seen more from Yarmo and young Olakigbe in their cameos than we have from Damsgard over 18 months. I think he will struggle to get off the bench when fit with full squad returning and pressure from promising B team players.
 

Mikkel Damsgaard

He was in the match day squad 35 out of 37 (he signed after the season started) games last season, he picked up an injury this season and is working his way back.
As we've seen with many players it can take time for a player to adjust when coming from abroad and there's no doubt he did at times last season but there were still little signs that there's still a player there if given time.
Sadly his injury this season will have hampered him but anyone writing him off is being daft. He needs time and patience - both things lacking in many on here sadly.

FFS here we go again.

Hes been here 5 minutes, had horrendous luck with injuries.

Is it a gamble, yes i suppose it is......................... Probably why we were able to pick him up for 13million.

No. This player has to go. He’s always injured. And when he’s not, he plays badly and bottles all his challenges. He’s got a balding head and thin, spindly legs. And he’s got a baby face. He’s far too old, and very, very young. He cost us a fortune. We could of picked up 15 promising young English players from Staines Town when they folded, for the price we paid for him, and still have enough for a McDonalds. He’s taking the place of an English player. We need to flog him. No, literally, flog him. Put him in the stocks. Ship him to Rwanda. Cos if we don’t, sure as eggs is eggs, we’ll be relegated. And that’s just the thin end of the wedge, cos before you know it we’ll lose all our best players and Benham’ll go as well. And by the end of next season we’ll find ourselves in the Isthmian League and I’m not even joking. Unless he improves a bit.
 

Mikkel Damsgaard

I’m hoping he comes good but I’m not holding my breath as have not been impressed with him in any game I’ve seen him play and now he’s behind Jensen, norgaard, onyeka, YY

Fair point…but JDS is infinitely better player and done miles more for us even with awful injuries too…not comparable really
Click to expand...

Neither Josh nor MD are available and even when they are, they aren't smashing down the doors to start. Shandon is in this category too.

They seem useful for 20/30 mins at best when fit.

The challenge is for them to comeback and perform like YY and to an extent be like Jensen and make yourself undroppable.

I like them all but we need them to be more robust.
 

Mikkel Damsgaard

JDS has a lot of goodwill with us because we remember how good he was and want him to get back to his best,MD doesn't have that luxury.

I really hope he can get his fitness sorted and have a good run of games.We've seen that happen to both Onyeka and Ajer.Both were much maligned while they were suffering a spate of injuries but they have come on leaps and bounds since they got regular game time.

I hope MD can do the same.

He's been out since the US tour with a knee injury.
