End of March was the predicted time .
You never know , his super human powers might enable him to come back sooner
Will be like having a £30m new signing!!I think he has had a mixed season to be honest but will nevertheless be a massive gain for us to have him back.

I don't know what you mean by a mixed season. You mean some games he was brilliant and some games he was amazing?
Seriously though, he was playing through injury during that spell before he did his ankle when he wasn't totally dominating every position on the pitch.
So so important to get him back and have a second genuine threat on the pitch apart from Jack. Just imagining the damage Jack will do when the opposition can't just triple mark him.He had some very good games and some fairly poor ones this season. For me his form dropped quite a bit after the Burnley home game. It's not clear to me how much the 'injury' drove the poor performances after this game or rather just finding the league a bit of a struggle at times, which is only natural for a player new to this level. I personally think it's a combination of both.
Ultimately he's an important player for us and has been seriously missed but I'm not going to act like he has been amazing for us all season because he hasn't. That's not finger pointing it's just being fair, it's hard to step up to this level and be extremely consistent, only Grealish has managed this but in so doing has exceeded all reasonable expectations fans had at the start of the season.

IMO you're slightly off the mark.
We clearly don't have an issue socring goals and creating a problem but defensively we've got major issues.
McGinn was the watercarrier of the side. He is our Kante, I genuinely think having him and Grealish in the same team is like having an extra man but in different ways. Grealish gives you an extra attacker, McGinn gives you extra defender in midfield.
There is a strong correlation between goals conceded while he played and goals conceded when he hasnt. For gods sakes we've had to play an extra defender while he has been out and we still don't look capable of defending. The battle in midfield is lost in every game he hasnt played.
Chances are we will not see him back to his super powers this season. If he is not running yet then at least a month before he is ready to play and then getting back up to speed will be a few games. Mid april earliest before he is back up to speed and that is hope more than expectation.
