I think it would be great to see him on the pitch before the World Cup, and to see him make the French squad, as unlikely as that is right now.

The results from the Man Utd and Brighton games could have a real impact in terms of our shopping January. 4 or 6 points and we could go into the January window solidly in the top half.  A couple of good performances under Emery and we look a MUCH more attractive option, with the 'R' word no longer part of the conversation.  And I thought Bouba was one of our better players in the early part of the season - if he's played as part of a double pivot, I think he'd really excel.

I hope Deschamps includes him in the squad.

I hope he doesn't quite make it.

I'd prefer he stay with us, get's properly fit and that Emery has the chance to work with him more.

The selfish side of me is hoping for this.. but if he is fit enough he will probably go. No Kante or Pogba if I remember correctly?

I agree with Drummond.

I might frame that.

Seriously though, I'll be pleased for him to go next time, but this time is too soon and he could prove to be exceptional with a decent coach spending the equivalent of a pre-season with him.

I know, right? It's normally the other way round. ;)

He wasn't expected to be back in training and available for match selection until after the World Cup.
It's not coincidence that Gerrard left and both Kamara and Digne to be a part of the squad? Really must have been some goings on for some of these players to not be selected. They were signed under SG and then weren't selected or stopped playing for him? Or how came back the minute he left ?

We welcome him back now and look forward to seeing him in midfield again. I think he was a great signing. A very assured player. Emery could use him in the centre back role as would be excellent in taking the ball and building up play.

A very good midfielder, but at the moment needs to earn his place. Wasn't so long ago we were talking about midfield as a mess. Nice problem to have.

Yes it is a coincidence, sometimes players recover faster than the initial estimates, sometimes they don't stop trying to unearth some great mystery when there's a very clear and simple explanation.

They didn't stop playing, they were injured. Then they recovered. They were both mentioned by Gerrard as being closer to a return then first thought, so any conspiracy theory is just pure nutjobbery. It would take some doing to fake an injury that convinced our highly qualified medical staff and regular scans etc, and then have it magically clear up when the manager gets sacked.
