It sucks that he'll be out but he needs to get 100% healthy. In reality this should have been done the week after the CL final but either way City will be fine. I expect Bernardo or Foden to step in and I'm sure they'll both flourish. That means when KDB comes back he'll be fresh and ready to go but they'll also have two more alternatives. I expect that early 2024 City will be the best City we've seen yet.
 
This is a big worry. Kev is really the only one that finds Haaland. Kev plays those risky passes in behind. That combination was lethal last season.

We’ve not got a Gundo or a Mahrez to help Kev anymore. That’s a worry when Kev didn’t play last season we looked devoid of ideas in the final third only Gundo did a brilliant job of being that replacement. When Kev went off against Burnley Haaland was pissed that no one was finding his runs. Kev is our creativity he’s are main creator
 
Like everyone I'm really gutted that he will miss half a season. However, on a positive note this maybe the only way to finally fix the injury. He's clearly tried to play on in the hope it would not pop again and that hasn't worked. I'm still sure he will have an impact when he does eventually return. He will hopefully not have the thought of it reoccurring in his mind and in the long run this may even extend his playing career.

There will be an urgency to get another midfielder in now so better to know that than piss around until the window shuts. Also the team will adapt and maybe this will mean keeping McAtee as well as signing Paqueta. Kev is not replaced rather we will change slightly the way we attack - good news we have a manager that can do that in a heartbeat. Things are going to be alright.
Exactly, this will add even more attacking options which will make them even more hard to play.
 
One newbie with terrible assists and goals stats compared to kev and one we havent even signed yet, phil might help out but bernie is not played in the kev position nor is as good as kev , no way to look at this but a diaster , without gundy and ffs we are in the shit
Yh We can not replace KDB no midfielder can do what he can do both footed,elite playmaker also an Elite finisher he can do it all. But i am still confident Pep will find a way to cope for at least a few months of the season without him
 
Shite news but nothing can be done about it.

I suppose you have to look at the positives. Now we know we have to give him time to fully recover, don't take any chances. If it means taking until the last 3 months of the season until he's fully ready to go then so be it.

We have plenty of quality still. Maybe we Will forced to play Foden more centrally. I think we will step up given a run of games there.
 
Need to be splashing out now to sign whoever the next KDB is.
Not sure that is the West Ham Lad

Posts like this are a poignant reminder of how the Passchendaele spirit lives on in this sceptered isle.
 


Might not be just Paqueta as a midfield reinforcement.


I’m not sure how that would work though. Who’s good enough to replace KDB and let’s say he comes back early then what? We’ll have too many players in that position in my opinion
