There is a big range of ACL injuries though. And you can't know until you have all the scans. I don't know at what stage the club put the statement out.
Being able to walk up the Wembley stairs was an encouraging sign. When I did mine 30 years ago, I had to walk on the good leg, dragging the other behind me. Putting full weight on tbe injured leg? No chance! Hopefully Leroy will be back fighting fit sooner rather than later.

The evening on deadline day,confirmed he needs surgery,i'd love him to be back earlier but i wouldn't bank on it,pep was saying how unlucky we are to have had 3 ACL injuries,he is young and fit and so long as he is mentally strong he will be ok
 
***BREAKING NEWS***

The German Rags have signed 30 year old Perisic on a season long loan with immediate effect, with an option to buy.

It looks like a stop gap signing, so I can see the Sane saga dragging on for another 12 months... :-(

UNLESS there is more to Hudson Odoi dragging out his contract negotiations?
I agree sadly it looks like the cnuts have not given up on Sane, and will now be plotting to get him at a cut down fee next summer. We have to prevent this from happening, as I really cannot stand to see Bayern's arrogant and self-entitled behaviour being successful. I hope we can persuade Sane to sign a new contract, well I guess I hope our offer is still on the table as a first thing.

Based on what hazard went for with a yr left we can still demand 100m and i hope we would,of course i hope he decides to sign a new deal even it's just 1 yr so he will have 2 left next summer and in a better position,i hope he repays us for looking after him with this injury

Players have gone back and played for a few minutes after the injury eg Mendy and Paul Lake was running up and down the Kippax after his so with respect I don’t think it’s any sign at all

Very true. Gareth Anscombe, Welsh fly half, went down after kicking the ball on Sunday, played another 15 minutes or so and then went off - he's done his ACL and is out of the Rugby World Cup.
 
I see that Bild are criticising Pep for breaking an " unwritten rule " and playing Leroy whilst in the midst of " serious transfer negotiations " with the German rags .

Were City in " serious negotiations " seeing as BM seemed to be doing most of their " negotiations " via the whole of the German media, it's clubs, players and just about anybody they could involve , except perhaps the management at City ?

Accusing Pep of being arrogant seems a bit rich coming from the most universally accepted bunch of arrogant cnuts known as the BM hierarchy .

I fully ruptured my Achilles tendon at a match, walked back to the car a couple of miles away, drove all the way home.

I walked around for another two weeks on it because the hospital thought I had just badly sprained my ankle.

Doctors at the hospital asked me how I had coped with the pain for so long?

Wasn't painful, as such. Wearing a plastic boot for eight months, certainly was!

If Leroy didn't get injured, I presume we shouldn't have picked Leroy for any game until he either signed for BM, or the German window closed.

Cheeky fuckers.
 
Shouldn’t underestimate how well we treat people, not as a means to an end, but purely as part of the ethos of the club. We treat people properly and understand players’ uncertainties and rights to consider their future, and while Sane recovers on the injury table, he’ll see players fighting for the club and for him, and that will have an effect on his sense of loyalty both to them and to the club. We have had multiple players injured in recent seasons and none, to my knowledge, have felt distanced from the team/club. If anything, they’ve all come back stronger and closer. Sane will undoubtedly find being injured difficult and stories will no doubt continue to circulate, but I’m confident that he’ll recover stronger and more determined than ever to succeed, with us.

Given that Bayern never actually made any official bid to City, it is almost funny to then complain about us playing our own player. How entitled and arrogant do you have to be to think this way? This is actually so rich that even my local newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung is writing about it, criticising Bayern for acting like a feudal ruler, and pointing out that City does not bend over like Bayern is used to from the Bundesliga. SZ says Bayern needs to learn to behave differently when dealing with international top clubs like City.

On another note I believe that Bayern has actually not given up on Leroy, and plan to come back either in Winter or next summer, depending on how fast Leroy gets fit. This is worrying and I have been thinking about how to deal with it. Besides the obvious of making Leroy sign a new contract my idea is that City cancels the peace agreement which Pep allegedly made with Bayern when he left them, and quietly starts working on deals with David Alaba and Joshua Kimmich. Bayern has clearly not felt very compelled lately to stay away from our players, in the same way as they made Pep promise.

Kimmich is 24 and under contract until 2023, however his stated wish is to play central defensive midfielder, not right fullback. City can offer him this position from next summer as replacement for Fernandinho, so I think we should have an attractive proposition there.

Alaba is 27 and under contract until 2021 ! Apparently he is not eager to renew, so the situation is pretty similar to Leroy's. We could have a squad place if Mendy does not find his feet this season.

I would go about it in the way as Bayern minus the public statements; i.e. quietly contact the agents and tell them how great it could be to play for City, under Pep.
Give the fuckers a taste of their own medicine, and teach them not to irritate a tiger for too long.
 
Munich don't have the money for Sane that's what all their mischief was about, trying to get him on the cheap.
They have the money but they still tried to get him on the cheap by unsettling him via the press. This is the Barca way, only Bayern are too small time to make it work.

Haha. I drove back from Glastonbury with a broken leg. True story. It's why I'm known as Nails.
