Major blow for Astana as top scorer injured

164

Astana captain, striker Tanat Nuserbayev (28), looks set to miss the Champions League qualifiers against Celtic after the injury he picked up in the win over Zalgiris in the last round proved worse than initially expected.

The player travelled to Germany yesterday for a formal diagnosis of what looks to be damage to the meniscus cartilage in his knee.

Nuserbayev is Astana’s top goal scorer. Despite being 21 games into their league programme, the squad only has two others who have scored more than three goals (one scored four, one scored five), so this will be a major loss for the Kazaks, who are pretty distraught at the news.

  1. Petec –

     

     

    Bit of an over-reaction there. Not very christian-like.

     

     

    I just mentioned you’re support of UKIP being in line with your hatred of the SNP.

    Great Laugh on here today, Politics aye and the Hoops play the English Champs and big Toure up for a Medical? You Bhoys on the right site? ;)

     

     

    Anyway Looking forward to the game, should be good fun, Hopefully Big Toure signs and coming out for a Hiya at HT. Hopefully Scott Allan get a run out as well.

     

     

    Toure is exactly what we need, He’s been there and done it.

     

     

     

    KLV

  3. I remember watching Kolo Toure in the UEFA Cup Final when the commentator mentioned he would be a free agent soon, and thinking he’d do a job for us, but dismissing it as “never gonna happen”.

  4. Here in the USA game on espn.

     

    Hope we put on a decent showing as our stock has fallen here in recent years due to some poor performances in friendlies.

     

    They are epl brainwashed here so a good display would be satisfying.

     

    Will have youngsters game on laptop as added bonus.

     

    Who said us oldies can’t multitask?

  5. TURKEYBHOY@2:47

     

     

    Agree – the two Italy/Juve central defenders who performed so well in the Euros and Serie A, are older than Kolo.

     

     

    Bonus, as you highlight, could be his mentoring of the likes of Jozo/Dedryck/Erik/Kris, and as FAN-A-TIC @ 2:47 rightly says, our youngsters, such as McCart, O”Connell and Kelleher.

    PS : only 9 years difference in age between manager and player. Is that a record at Parkhead ?

    Tommy Burns and Packy Bonner?

    And now for YaYa!

     

    —————-

     

    When I told my Dad that it looks like we’re signing Toure, I had to quickly clarify that it was Kolo and not Yaya :O)

  8. Toure, Toure, Loora

     

    Toure, Toure Lay

     

    Toure, Toure Loora,

     

    You’re an Irish Celtic Bhoy.

     

     

    OK, I’ll get my coat & eff off.

    ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

     

     

    Wrong I’m afraid.

     

     

    Barzagli is the same age as Kolo, 35. Chiellini is 31, and Bonucci is 29.

     

     

    HH!!

    Reading back on previous thread, I saw your news re your chemo treatment.

     

    I don’t know what you’re being treated for but I hope and pray the chemo is successful and you continue to take your place at CP every other Saturday and the occasional Tuesday or Wednesday for Champions League games.

    Was Ian Wright here at the same time as John Barnes, according to Wiki they were but for some reason I’m doubting that.

    Chiellini is like Joe Louis – he lies about his age.

     

     

    Joe Louis was sixty-eight when he fought Marciano.

  14. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Tallybhoy, sorry for non celtic chat but I’m having another Cliff Claven trivia moment.

     

     

    I was in Sorrento then Rome two weeks ago and i’m confused by the three police forces in Italian I saw in Italian towns, the municipal polis, the Polizia in the light blue cars plus The Carabineri. I was further confused in Rome when i saw another type of polis, the Guardia de Finanza.

     

     

    I would be grateful, if you know, tell what the role of each is , please?

     

     

    Hoprfully,Kolo Toure can do as good a job for us Pat Stanton did for us many years ago.

     

     

    Today,the physicality and pace of Leicester may cause us problems. Morgan and Huth are huge and don’t mess about.

     

     

    We will be leaving soon for Celtic Park. My son cant wait for his second game in the standing section, he has just recovered from Wednesday’s game.

  15. GG Ithink you picked up Clinko’s posted wrongly, he was reposting a post from last night from Eldiegobhoy who is currently undergoing said treatment and has all our good wishes. H H Hebcelt

  16. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Tallybhoy ,my post should not have included the words in Italian. Oops

    Quick Quiz

     

     

    who passed to Tommy Johnson for him to score against St. Mirren and win the league?

  18. Mats, The Brown Bomber must have been a Hun so as he died a year before he reached his 68th.

  19. Leftie

     

     

    You still need to be up pretty early to pull a fast one on your Mammy!!

     

     

    Kolo is only the second Toure to proudly don the Hoops.

     

    My Wee Bhoy Ruaridh has oft been termed Ruaridh Toure as a family nickname!

  20. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Eldiegobhoy, keep on keeping on. I wish you well in your fight with your condition.

  21. Hebcelt

     

    Thanks for the clarification.

     

    Just shows the dangers of butting into the middle of an exchange.

     

    Apologies to Clinko and prayers and best wishes for EDB.

     

    Nil carborundum illegitimi

  22. Eddie Murphy just on the phone – tells me that Joe Louis was in fact seventy-six when he came out of retirement to fight Marciano.

    Tallybhoy,thanks .

     

     

    I’ll read your reply when I get back from our game today.

     

     

    Almost as many law enforcement agencies in Italy as there is in the States.

     

     

    Thank you for reply.

    Giorgio Chiellini will in fact turn 32 next month, apparently.

     

     

    Good player, with a face like a well-skellped erse!
