Perrone maybe but I am not sure if we can call back that loanIs one of the Argentinians we have out on loan a DM?
KDB was not out for 6 months. His return helped us win the Newcastle away game in January. Rodri is potentially out for the whole season. We haven't had him missing too many games, so fingers crossed.We've stared 4 games without him this season and won the lot. We missed kdb for 6 months last season and it never affected us. The more you doubt this squad the more they make you look stupid.
Generally, you can't recall players from season-long loans - only short-term ones. It'd have to be agreed upon with their current clubPerrone maybe but I am not sure if we can call back that loan
Why? It’s not being awarded for this coming season ??Gutted for Rodri personally because this means Vinicius Jr. will probably take the Balon d'Or, and at 28 he's no spring chicken anymore which means he probably won't be the same when he comes back. But we'll be alright. We've already made history, at worst this season we'll be finishing in the top four and going for all the cups. And we still have a squad that's more capable of winning this league, even without Rodri - it won't be comfortable but it'll be fun.
Come Easter, we’ll be all saying that we never saw Gvardiol as the world’s best number 6.
Really hope he plays v Watford.Hopefully Jacob Wright gets the nod there tomorrow and bosses it.
And the price just went up £20m at least - no thanks.Bruno G in Jan from Newcastle is now non negotiable.
there are hundreds, probably thousands arsenal fans celebrating since last night, the most obnoxious fanbase in the world.A certain fan base outing themselves as absolute cunts as well, literally celebrating another person getting hurt, grim.
Made me laugh anywayCome Easter, we’ll be all saying that we never saw Gvardiol as the world’s best number 6.
Do we have to carry on pretending that a perfect "Rodri back-up" even exists? There's literally no player in world football who would happily sit out all the games Rodri plays and then bring his absolute best on the rare occasions he'd get to start. You could point at literally any player in the squad (except Ederson) and say "We should have signed a proper back-up" if they were to ever get injured long-term.
We have Kovacic, Gundogan, Lewis, Stones, and even Gvardiol, who can fill in here. Of the many things Pep has mastered over the years with City, it's doing a heck of a lot with a small squad when big injuries arise. Mendy, De Bruyne, Laporte, now Rodri. We've seen in the early weeks of 24/25 that we can win well without Rodri and the January window isn't far away. You imagine we'll be looking at the likes of Kimmich or Bruno G then.
