Benjamin Mendy (Back In Training)

[cleavers]

He might mean coming back to Manchester soon :-(

If I was him I'd go somewhere warm and rest a lot.

Yeah, somewhere like The Mitre. Meself and the wife do be fairly warm there. Nice & classy.

I could swear someone is jinxing this club, and they're doing it way too efficiently.
A little light in CB's? Well lose some Kompany while you're at it.
No adequate cover for LB? Hey presto, say goodbye to Mendy and his bendy knee.
It's unreal.

Goalkeeper position beware then.

Let's not go there, we already dodged a bullet.

@domalino Please dont retweet racist posts like that again.

Thanks.

I posted Benjamin Mendy's tweet about his injury, which is highly relevant to this thread.

It's not my fault that he tweeted that in response to a racist, not that twitter/bluemoon pulls in that post with the Mendy tweet I linked.

I didn't post the offending tweet, and I didn't retweet anything. Take note of such things before accusing people of posting racist comments.

Thanks.

Has anyone called Martin Petrov yet?

Getting a replacement is going to be tricky. Do we get a first class replacement and get him and Mendy to battle for first choice LB or do we get someone to make do until he recovers? If we're going to make do aren't we better just keeping Delph and Danilo rotating around there?

 

[rnblade]

He must be gutted as much as the rest of us. We will miss him. Don't think he will be playing again this season. I really want to be proved wrong. He's young and a premier athlete so hopefully his return will be swift.

At best a ruptured ACL can be 4 months out. At worse it's 9 to 12 months out.

Fingers crossed.

 

[HarrytheBlue]

Go on, I'll bite. What type of injury would that be then that ruins a 23 year olds career? Please be as specific as possible in your answer.

Google ACL injuries. I'm sure we won't rush him back.

 

[Withnail]

Horrendous news, but the news most of us expected.

Definitely need to buy in the window. I would go all our Betrand, Soton probably won't sell but worth a try.

 

[johnmc]

Might need Sagna back at this rate as cover to allow Danilo and Delph to cover left and Sagna and Walker right.

A ruptured ACL isn't how it sounds - it's actually a complete severing of the ligament.

 

[super_city_si]

Balls. Thats him out till next season probably. we are so unlucky with injuries.

 

[BLUEMATT23]

Can we not get anyone even on loan until January?

Yeah I just read that a rupture is much worse than a tear.

 

[kwm1988]

Devastating can't believe he might be out for the season so pissed off!

Tierney a much better player imo, fair bit younger and cheaper too.

Yes but is that in the rules?
Where did Sagna go?

Well the former would fit in with our buying injury prone players so I say get him in!
