this is so fucked, season's gone

I've been a fan since the early seventies, so I doubt that very much.

I started supporting City in 1967

Fuck! There couldn't be any more devastating news for us. Don't know why people are trying to downplay it, this is a season defining injury regardless of the alternatives we may or may not have. When the Balon d'or front runner is ruled out for the season, that's a monumental blow in it's own right even if you also had the second best number 6 on the planet, the lack of a real alternative just compounds it.

We need to have a real 6 come in during January to stand any chance, kovacic isn't a 6 and I say that as one of kovacic's biggest fans. Stones is actually comfortably the most adept at it in our squad, the problem with that is firstly stones cannot stay reliably fit himself and secondly, we have 6 defenders in the squad, we cannot have them playing in midfield too when we are that short in numbers. The only alternative to buying a 6 would be to buy another defender to cover Stones moving into midfield, something we should have done last summer anyway.

Wonder when arsenal fans are having their open top bus celebration upon hearing this, scumbags.

Now it sounds with a lot of sense. Go into the market instead of trying to think everything is fine.

I care about the club more than you

 

[Blue-Ghana]

Massive loss for us , Our midfield is too old without him , we would struggle against high press teams .No backup for haaland means he will almost all games now , another risk the club has taken .

 

[Blue-Ghana]

Nunes has to go in January, defensive midfielder has to join us. End of the planning. If the club care about themselves, they would do it.

why does we have to go ? We need to buy another DM

Sell him and buy a DM. Simple as that.

 

[thelostoasismember]

Maybe into the youth squad for now. Hopefully there's a gem who shines this year.

Mad that we now need to play 2 cdms to cover for him. He's really our VVD when thinking about it.

Who?

 

[Frankie lad]

We would all be devastated should this fella have a long layoff but he as a professional at the absolute zenith of his career the best midfielder in the world, a private, reserved nice fella too will be inconsolable tonight.

Others need to step up, I sometimes wonder if Jack has the makings of a 6 in this later stage in his career? Maybe wishful thinking but you never know - he has all the skills needed except perhaps heading. Rodri is a one off as the complete CDM so virtually impossible to find a ready made replacement.
