We will miss him, he's a pretty vital cog in the way pulis likes to play.

its also a great opportunity for us to develop a plan B. fuller and cressy upfront with demar or a new signing on the left wing (routledge?)

Fair play to him, must take a fair bit to go back after what happened against Togo (I think?), and we can't be upset if he wants to represent his country!
As for stoke, I agree with CruelKing, a plan B is never a bad thing to have and though we won't miss his goals, we'll miss out on goals like Fuller's first against the Baggies which was Mama's doing!
Not a lot we can do about it really so gotta take the positives out of it!

Maybe we should send a couple of minders to look after him.
Didn't we used to have a couple of people with Sammy Bangoura to put him back on the Plane after each game?

Well we need a replacement. Ronaldinhos out of favour at Barcelona.

It's a brave career move by Mama. To go missing for 6 games whilst we are bedding in our "new" quality players could end up being a big mistake. At the minute he is integral to how we play and you would think he would be one of the first names on the sheet. When he comes back we will hopefully be doing well with our star signings  and he will have his work cut out to rise up the pecking order again. |

Mama is an athlete, there has been a rumor about akinbiyi coming back, someone like him would probably be ideal, someone who is willing to do the running, the only problem being that akinbiyi isn't technically as good as Mama.
Or if we bring in a wide player he could shift cresswell up front, i don't think Parkin and Fuller make a great partnership and pericard isn't an option.
