Dani Olmo

[Plain Speaking]

There’s genuinely not a better club on the planet to deal with injuries or “injury prone” players.

We did very well last season, with injuries, but we have to be cautious buying injury prone players, it can derail our season. We couldn't protect KDB from his hamstring issues :-(

 

[Cityfan]

Grealish didn't have recurring muscle injuries like hamstring, he's had mainly shin and calf issues.

Haaland has had to be carefully protected against overplaying, he missed 5 games last season season we will have to watch for injuries going forward. We didn't overpay for Haaland, he was a bargain.

I am not saying don't buy him, just don't expect to have a fully fit player all season, and don't pay top dollar because a player's injury history should be reflected in his price.

Well calves are muscles and the shin may well be muscular in origin.
I don't think the club should ignore an injury record but they will be in a far better position to assess it than the scanty info that is published.

hahah how do you know about iptv? i will
miss henrichs youtube content, that was a fun video, especially gvardiol and szoboszlai trying caviar for the first time.

i forgot to mention, he scored against city in zagreb. and there’s a thing about pep signing players who do that, or?

I stumbled on a video yesterday when I was looking for interviews with him. Not sure if it's legit or not but I'm choosing to believe it is.

And yeah, we do have a tendency to sign or at least pursue players who impress Pep when we play them in the Champions League.

 

[Kippaxpete]

If not Olmo, do you have any other suggestions?

Wirtz isn't an option as he's literally just come back from a bad injury and I can't see him moving so soon after coming back.

Oh I don't know. We signed Gundo with a known long-term injury!

 

[skillman]

We were linked years ago weren’t we? Probably one of those we’ve been tracking for a few seasons.

He had shin splints twice, that's not muscle related. He had a calf injury for a month in 19/20. As I said he's not had recurring muscle injuries like hamstring

it’s legit, they were in dani’s house. henrichs, olmo, szoboszlai and gvardiol are friends, not just teammates.

Looking probable bearing in mind what is being said by ITKs on social media now. Leipzig will want £70m+ of course and time to buy a cheaper replacement first. As such, I don't expect a deal till just before the window closes.

This thread started 4 years ago.....but i dont think there has ever been concrete interest.

 

[Lee the Blue]

No idea if this guy is good enough or not as I'd be lying if I said I'd seen enough of him. We desperately need a central midfielder and a winger with pace though - that I do know.

As an aside on his injuries, if you'd looked closely at Gundo's injury record before we signed him you'd have balked but he turned out ok.

i hope dani survives that, last time they tried to kill him and joško. disgusting leverkusen cunts.

Gundo had a serious back problem in 13/14 missing over a year, then recovered but in 15/16 got a dislocated knee cap, after signing for us in 16/17 he ruptured his cruciate ligament.

He didn't have recurring muscle injuries.

Shin splints can be muscle related. Do you know the details of Olmo's muscle injuries?

 

[Gumzy97]

I think this gets done , Leipzig might not want to sell , but their higher ups in Red bull will intervene.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Agreed but Leipzig are hardly some cowboy outfit. We might have a better medical/sport science/nutrition/monitoring team, but not to the level where we can ‘fix’ him. Best to look elsewhere.

Neither are Dortmund, but we “fixed” Haaland’s issues.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Why don't we just pay a few blokes to follow around the Brighton scouts.!

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

Neither are Dortmund, but we “fixed” Haaland’s issues.

Again, his style of play is completely different here than at Dortmund. And Haaland is a once in a lifetime player, Olmo isn’t. Haaland was worth the risk.

We did. We’ve already had a worse season injury wise and its only mid August. We got lucky last season, with a small squad. Likely won be as lucky again and have lost a lot of experience

How do you know how Olmo will play here yet, should he come?
