Remember when someone said he didn’t smile, who smiles in hell, but since he has been here in has had a smile as big as a kid in a candy shop or his heaven.

I remember Dutch’s posts 
Wonder if Frimpong spoke with Florian about Grav’s situation at Bayern. The way the club just spits out players.
I wonder if Slot will imitate Klopp and the way he treated Robertson when he became a father, and use Gravenberch sparingly these next weeks/months. If not, we should get used to the lad not performing quite as well as last season for a time. Becoming a daddy is taxing at first.

I expect him to be straight back in, considering our balance and little issues in midfield. He looked in brilliant shape towards the end of pre-season. Team selection will be interesting for Newcastle.
I’ve thought this as well, but becoming a father means losing sleep and having one’s head elsewhere, understandably so. Not sure the same level of performance can be expected from him if he’s thrown in right away again.
But as you say, maybe Slot won’t have much choice but to do that.
Arne will likely check on him first and ask if he’s ready to play before making the necessary call.
Arne - “Congrats on the newborn, glad to hear all went well…pumped up ready to go at Newcastle?”
Grav - “Thanks Gaffa, actually I’m feeling a little drained…missus made me stay up 4 nights in a row on nappy changing duty so if it’s ok with you I’ll be giving this 1 a miss”
Arne - “Tough shit, what I say goes and you’re fucking starting Monday you hear me…now get changed, training starts in 10”

I was up at 4am again cleaning up more of Apollo’s explosive diarohea and I still had to go into work this morning. Get yer fecking boots, Ryan. Your playing.
Haven’t we had about 4-5 of them have babies over the last few years.
I don’t particularly think a one fits all idea works.
